Losail International Circuit is a motor racing circuit located just outside in the town of Losail, north of Doha, Qatar. Built in just under a year by 1,000 workers at the cost of $US 58 million, the track opened in 2004 and since then has been used for Formula 2000 races.
The MRF Formula 2000 series kick starts its racing season by a grand opening at the Losail International Circuit. The MRF Formula 2000 series is being held for the second time here in the Middle East and first time at Qatar. Round 1 has 2 races from the 17th to the 18th of October.
The track is 5.380 km in length, with a main straight of just over a kilometer at 1,068 meters. It is surrounded by artificial grass to stop the sand encroaching too much onto the track. In 2007, Losail added permanent outdoor lighting for night races. At the time, the lighting of the Losail Circuit was the largest permanent venue sports lighting project in the world opened in 2004.
This race track is sure to bring out the best of all our drivers. Stay tuned for all the action.
