DOHA: With less than a week to go until the opening of the Formula 1 Qatar Airways Qatar Grand Prix, Lusail International Circuit (LIC), the home of motorsports in Qatar, revealed an exclusive first look at the extensively remodelled venue.
Led by Qatar’s Public Works Authority ‘Ashghal’, a suite of new, state-of-the-art facilities have been built as part of the renovation of the 5.38km Circuit, designed to enhance the experience for drivers and racegoers.
While the popular track layout remains, expanded seating capacity, five-star VIP zones and new viewing areas are just some of the new features introduced as part of the upgrade, which sees LIC primed and ready to host the biggest event in motorsports from October 6-8.
Abdulrahman bin Abdullatif Al Mannai, President of Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation and Lusail International Circuit, said: “This stunning and extensive remodelling is the product of months of hard work, ambition and imagination, and is a fitting introduction to what promises to be a thrilling weekend of motorsports.”
The reopening of LIC signifies a new chapter in the circuit’s history, with it currently being the only circuit in the region to host both FORMULA 1 and MotoGP events.
