The Peninsula
Fans in Qatar will witness the thrill and adrenaline as the Losail International Circuit has been confirmed to host its first-ever Formula One race next month, which will be a part of the landmark 11-race deal between the Qatar Motor & Motorcycle Federation (QMMF) and the Formula 1 (F1).
According to the agreement announced yesterday, 11 F1 races will take place over 12 seasons, with the night race — the Ooredoo Qatar Grand Prix —is scheduled to be held from November 19 to 21. There will be no race in 2022 as it coincides with the FIFA World Qatar Cup Qatar 2022 following which the country will host the F1 events for next 10 years until 2032.
“This exciting agreement means that Qatar will be the home of both Formula 1 and MotoGP for the next decade, which are the pinnacle events in global motorsport,” QMMF President Abdulrahman Al Mannai told a press conference at Losail International Circuit, yesterday.
