Qatar Grand Prix

The Qatar GP is the 3rd of 4 middle eastern races in 2024. The track is located about 25 minutes by car from the centre of Doha or 12 minutes from Lusail. Both areas are home to an array of high quality hotels, a legacy from the 2022 World Cup which was held in Qatar. I loved my stay at the Mondrian hotel. This stylish property is located on the highway about 13 minutes from the track and next to the Lagoona Mall.

There is little in the way of public transport though, so shuttle buses, taxis and rental cars are the preferred transport options.

The track itself is situated in a remote location, so there’s not much happening outside of the track and unlike some of the other F1 tracks, it’s near impossible to get close to the paddock swipe gates, so there is very little access to the drivers at this event unless you have Paddock Club tickets.

The paddock and pit building were new in 2023. The digital signage on the second level windows of the team hospitality suites is impressive at night at this Keep in mind that there are limited grandstands away from the front straight, so plan accordingly if you want to have a good view of the action.
