Commenting on the event, QMMF (Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation) and LCSC president, Mr. Abulrahman Al-Mannai stated: “We work tirelessly with competent government authorities to ensure that each time the Lusail Circuit Sports Club hosts an event of this magnitude, it exceeds the bars that were previously set in terms of safety, security and overall sustainability. The Club also constantly improves and optimizes every aspect of circuit zone allocation and activity scheduling to leave both fans and race participants equally satisfied with the overall experience. It’s rather simple, the world places its trust in us, and we repay it by organizing breathtakingly fun and exciting events.” 

Qatar hosted the first event at the venue during the October 2004 Grand Prix of Qatar won by Sete Gibernau, and in 2008, the country celebrated the first floodlit Grand Prix in the history of the MotoGP™ World Championship.  Having hosted 2 race rounds back-to-back in 2021, this year’s season open will mark the 20th race held at the Lusail International Circuit. Qatar is one of the most highly vaccinated countries in the world, and it has successfully held several sports events in the past 3 years in a very controlled environment, so fans worried for their safety can rest assured that there is nothing to worry about, they will be able to fully focus on the action. The event will also align with Qatar National Vision 2030’s sustainability agenda, meaning that each phase will be optimized to be held in the most feasibly sustainable and environmentally-friendly way possible.
