Lusail won’t be the season opener in 2023
Lusail International Circuit is expected to undergo extensive renovation and remodeling to the parking area and circuit facilities by 2023.
The track has been confirmed on the MotoGP calendar until at least 2031, and the works will see the Middle East’s premier motorsport venue further assert its status as one of the facilities. The world’s best equipped racers.
The remodeling project will begin taking shape in 2022 and will see various areas redeveloped to create an even better experience for all those racing and visiting the venue, from riders and teams to fans and guests. That includes new areas for spectators, establishing Lusail as a truly state-of-the-art, cutting-edge racetrack.
Lusail will host the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix once the job is done, meaning the event will therefore not be the opening round like it has been since 2007.
Instead, it will take place at the end of the season, under the spectacular headlights of Lusail as the sport returns to enjoying some incredible racing – as has become tradition at the Qatar GP.
