DOHA: This year’s MotoGP Championship season-opener will be hosted Lusail Circuit Sports Club (LCSC) from March 4 to 6, the organisers said on Sunday.
The Doha MotoGP will be the only one-night race of the FIM MotoGP World Championship 2022.
Commenting on the event, QMMF (Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation) and LCSC president, Abulrahman Al Mannai said: “We work tirelessly with competent government authorities to ensure that each time the Lusail Circuit Sports Club hosts an event of this magnitude.”
“The LCSC also constantly improves and optimizes every aspect of circuit zone allocation and activity scheduling to leave both fans and race participants equally satisfied with the overall experience.”
Qatar hosted the first event at the venue in October 2004. The competition was won by Sete Gibernau. In 2008, the country celebrated the first floodlit Grand Prix in the history of the MotoGP World Championship.
Having hosted back-to-back rounds in 2021, this year’s season open will mark the 20th race at the Lusail International Circuit.
Qatar is one of the most highly vaccinated countries in the world, and it has successfully held several sports events in the past three years in a very controlled environment, the organisers said in a press release.
The event will also align with Qatar National Vision 2030’s sustainability agenda, meaning that each phase will be optimized to be held in the most feasibly sustainable and environmentally-friendly way possible.
