ABOUT LUSAIL INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT
Lusail International Circuit (LIC) is Qatar’s premier motorsport and entertainment destination, featuring a world-class FIA Grade 1 and FIM Grade A circuit, bespoke hospitality lounges, and state-of-the-art facilities to host international events such as Formula 1®, MotoGP™, and WEC, as well as many regional and community events.
Since its inauguration in 2004, LIC has been the home of MotoGP™, staging the first-ever full night race in the championship and remaining the only circuit on the calendar to do so. In 2021, it welcomed Formula 1® with the inaugural Qatar Grand Prix and secured a ten-year agreement to host the race through 2032. Following an extensive upgrade completed in 2023, LIC now features the Guinness World Record for the world’s longest motorsport pitlane building (402.1m), featuring 50 pit boxes—the largest of any Formula 1® circuit—alongside expanded grandstands, premium hospitality, and new vantage points such as Lusail Hill at Turn 1.
In 2024, LIC expanded its portfolio further by debuting the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season with the “Qatar 1812 KM” – a race named in honor of Qatar National Day. Under its agreement, Qatar will remain on the WEC calendar until at least 2029, making LIC one of only two circuits in the world to host all three pinnacle motorsport championships: Formula 1®, MotoGP™, and WEC.
Demonstrating its commitment to environmental responsibility, Lusail International Circuit has been awarded the FIA Three-Star Environmental Accreditation, the highest level of recognition for sustainable motorsport operations. Further reinforcing its dedication to sustainability, Lusail International Circuit has become a signatory of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Sports for Climate Action Framework, formalising its long-term commitment to climate action and environmental stewardship. It remains the only venue in the world to hold the FIA Three-Star Environmental Accreditation while hosting all three of motorsport’s pinnacle championships: Formula 1®, MotoGP™, and the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC).
Beyond global motorsport, LIC is deeply committed to the local community. The circuit regularly opens for public track days, giving enthusiasts a chance to experience the venue first-hand. In addition, mixed training sessions (cycling and running) promote fitness and well-being, making LIC not only a sporting landmark but also a hub for healthy lifestyles and community engagement in Qatar.
