About the MotoGP Grand Prix of Qatar

The circuit is 5.38 km long, with 16 turns and a long main straight, and is known for fast racing. Lusail is one of a small group of venues that host MotoGP, Formula 1 and the FIA World Endurance Championship.

• Package content: flights, hotel nights, airport and circuit transfers, race tickets and a daytime tour of Doha, such as the Corniche or Souq Waqif.
