Qatar Grand Prix builds momentum as Lusail circuit marks 100-day countdown

DOHA : Lusail International Circuit (LIC) has unveiled the official key visual for the 2026 Formula One Qatar Grand Prix as the venue marks 100 days until the penultimate round of the FIA Formula One World Championship.

The race is scheduled for Nov. 27-29 and will be held during a major period of change for Formula One, with the sport introducing its most significant technical regulation overhaul in more than a decade.

The 2026 season will feature new-generation cars and revised technical regulations, while Audi and Cadillac are set to join the grid as new teams.

LIC said the key visual reflects Qatar’s ambitions as a fast-growing and globally connected sporting destination as preparations build for the race weekend.

Fans can choose from a range of three-day ticket packages, including grandstand seating around the circuit and general admission access at Lusail Hill.

All tickets cover the full Friday-to-Sunday race weekend and include access to the Fanzone, food court, post-race concerts and merchandise outlets. Ticket holders will also have access to complimentary shuttle services, free parking and a dedicated taxi pick-up and drop-off area.

Demand for tickets has already been strong, with one section of the Main Grandstand sold out.

Tickets for the remaining Main Grandstand sections are priced at 2,000 Qatari riyals ($550), while North Grandstand tickets cost 1,500 riyals.

Seats in the Turn 2, Turn 3 and Turn 16 grandstands are available for 1,000 riyals, while general admission tickets for Lusail Hill cost 600 riyals.

The Qatar Grand Prix will form part of the closing stretch of the 2026 Formula One season, with the Lusail event serving as the penultimate round of the championship.

LIC said the countdown milestone was intended to build anticipation among fans as Qatar prepares to host another major international motorsport event.
