Qatar was awarded the race in November 2003, and in December they started construction of the circuit and all its facilities.
Frankly, in 2004 we were worried... But they set our minds at ease and the facility, while not 100% complete, was in great shape for a super opening race in Oct 2004. 2005/6 were flawless, and we are looking forward to an even more exciting event this year! However, the VIP Package is about 'no need to worry' as we will have everything in hand when you arrive!
The circuit is 5.4km, making it the third longest in the GP tournament. The longest straight is 1.068km, which should have the racers hitting 330kph! The seventh turn (of a total of 16 curves) - a long sweeper - will allow speeds of up to 250kph, so should be pretty spectacular.
It now hosts WSB as well as several other local events.
