With the season-opener Qatar MotoGP not far away, the organisers yesterday revealed the list of activities, which will be held during the premier motorcycle event.
The initial announcement of the event was met with a lot of excitement, especially since the night round at Lusail Circuit Sports Club (LCSC) has a unique atmosphere that adds a lot of flavour to the action.
The organisers of the race to be held at the Losail International Circuit from March 4-6 have revealed the list of activities, with the events divided into three parts.
There will be a family friendly event on Friday during which kids under the age of 12 will be allowed to take part in the event and its various activities for free. A concert by the Bader Al Shuaibi will be held on Sunday.
Other activities which will accompany the event include the MotoGP Exhibition which will introduce those who are not very well acquainted with the sport to its historical background and most noteworthy aspects, the Special Moto Exhibition dedicated to devoted fans who will be able to access and take photos with over 20 legendary vehicle models, and a Graffiti Art segment during which 3 live-sized 3D motorbikes will be painted by local graffiti artists.
Berthold Trenkel, Chief Operating Officer of Qatar Tourism, said: “Qatar has been hosting the MotoGP for almost two decades, allowing residents and visitors from all over the region to come and watch the thrilling season opener."
"As the Strategic Partner, Qatar Tourism is proud to host the 20th race held at the state-of-the-art Lusail International Circuit where audiences will enjoy the races in dazzling floodlight and enjoy live music,” he added.
