Formula 1 debuted at Lusail Circuit in 2021, when the inaugural Qatar Grand Prix was held as part of a ten-year contract. The event was not held in 2022 due to the country hosting the FIFA World Cup. The first F1 race in Qatar in 2021 was impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, though it still attracted 80,000 fans over the Grand Prix weekend. Last year’s race weekend attracted 120,000 fans over three days, while attendance increased at the 2024 Qatar Grand Prix to 154,973 fans, though the race remains one of the lowest attended on the current F1 calendar.
Despite rumours about the event moving elsewhere – a street race in Doha reportedly among the options – Formula 1 remain at Lusail Circuit for the time being. The circuit will host three world-leading motorsport series racing from 2024, with the World Endurance Championship set to join F1 and MotoGP on the annual schedule.
Ahead of Formula 1’s return to Lusail Circuit in 2023, the venue underwent major renovation works. A totally new, three level pits/hospitality building and F1 Paddock were finished just in time for the event in October. Such was the disruption to the circuit that MotoGP’s Qatar Grand Prix – which was the season-opening event since 2007 – did not take place until November.

Where to Watch the Action at the 2025 Qatar Grand Prix
A wider range of ticket options have been available since the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix, including General Admission access. Read our guide to each grandstand below, as well as the main trackside hospitality suites.
Main Grandstand
The Main Grandstand is located opposite the pit lane and will give you a great view of the starting grid, the pit lane and the podium celebrations. The grandstand is divided into three sections. The central Zone A is the prime position to see the grid lining up and the podium, while Zone B (to the left of Zone A) and Zone C (to the right of Zone A) also offer views of the main straight.
North Grandstand
The North Grandstand is also located on the pit straight but is closer to Turn 1. Rather than seeing the pit lane and the cars lining up on the grid, you’ll see the cars heading into the opening corner and should be able to follow the action through to Turn 2. 2024 tickets for the North Grandstand are currently sold out via our supplier.
Lusail Hill Lounge
Located on the Main Straight, between the North Grandstand and Turn 1, the Lusail Hill lounge offers all-inclusive food and an open bar serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The Lusail Lounge offers an open-air terrace design, with lots of vantage points to catch the action, as well as large TV screens.
Premiere Hospitality
Located on the outside of the circuit overlooking Turn 1, Premiere Hospitality is located in the same structure as the Champions Club by F1 Experiences, but offers more affordable hospitality with excellent track views, all inclusive hospitality and an open bar. The indoor section is airconditioned and offers comfortable table and sofa seating, whilst the large terrace has balcony and grandstand viewing options.
Turn 2 Grandstand
Located on the outside of the circuit next to the tight and long Turn 2, this grandstand was newly built for 2023 and offer good views. The Turn 2 grandstand consists of two parts; the first is facing the short straight between Turns 1-2 (see gallery above), the second is facing the exit of Turn 2 and the infield (gallery below). The section facing the exit of Turn 2 and the infield is preferred, according to Robert (who sat there last year), as you can see the cars for much longer.
Turn 3 Grandstand
The Turn 3 Grandstand was newly introduced for the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix. It’s located between Turns 2 and 3, with prime views of the cars as they head through Turn 3. Expect to see plenty of jostling for position here – especially on the opening lap!
Turn 16 Grandstand & VIP Club 16 Hospitality
Newly added in 2023, the Turn 16 Grandstand offers views of the cars entering the pitlane, taking the final corner and heading down the start/finish straight. Turn 16 Grandstand seats are also included as part of the circuit’s hospitality offering. In addition to reserved grandstand seats, you’ll also have access to an outdoor terrace looking out across the circuit. Hospitality tickets here also include a range of international catering options plus an open bar.
General Admission
General Admission tickets have been part of the ticket offer since the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix. 1-day or 3-day passes are available. General Admission tickets grant you access to viewing areas between Turns 16 and Turn 3, including on the Main Straight. The best views in General Admission areas are on the outside of Turn 1, see image above, though the viewing area is a long way from the track. Overall, we’d recommend grandstand seats over General Admission at Lusail circuit, if your budget allows.
Thank you for the article! We are getting antsy as we’ve booked a 3 day “layover” in Qatar as part of our honeymoon to catch the race. We’re flying from Australia to Europe (needed to stopover anyway, it’s a looooong trip) and crossing all fingers and toes to get a pair of grandstand tickets when they’re released. Have saved this article for any updates, can see you reckon they may be released in May. Lesssgooo!!!
Sounds like a great plan! I attended the Qatar Grand Prix in 2021 and really enjoyed the race and the city. I don’t imagine it will be that difficult to get tickets
I love to attent the formula 1 race again in 2023.
I was there in 2021 and enjoyed every minute of our stay in Doha.
I hope the prices will not raises a lot.
Hope you can make it. I was there in 2021 too, and I really enjoyed the city and the race, but of course it was still ‘covid times’. Will be interesting to see how many people attend this year. I hope the ticket prices will still be reasonable.
Thank you for the article! We’ve been keeping our eye on the ticket offerings for a few weeks now and were wondering when more would be released. I was wondering if you know if the Champion’s Club package is also offered at this GP? I can’t find any info on if it was available for 2021.
Hi Zee, I don’t think F1 Experiences is planning to have a Champions Club in Qatar this year. But I’ll let you know if I hear otherwise.
Have the tickets for the race been made available. Checked F1 tickets and you can not buy anything
Not yet. Read the post again, it says some time in May. We only just started May, and there is no announcement yet. Subscribe to our website and check the box for Qatar – we will inform you when tickets go on sale.
Hi, will there be a pit walk for 3 day pass holders?
Perhaps, but this has not yet been announced. Subscribe to our mailing list and check the box for Qatar, we will inform subscribers of this and other important info: https://f1destinations.com/subscribe/
Hi! Do you think the view from the general admission area is good? Is it possible to see well from that distance? Thanks!
Hard to say, there wasn’t GA last time (2021) in Qatar. I think there will be some good views
Hello,
I’m planning to visit the qatar-race in 2023. And i would really like to sit as close to the podium, to see the podium ceremony (at the end of the race). However, i can’t really find out which zone this is. On the pictures it looks like the podium is at the left side of the building (from the viewer perspective), so this would mean zone E/F (close to start-finish). Who knows exactly?
The whole pit/paddock building is being rebuilt right now, so I’m not sure of the exact location for the podium. But it should be close to the start/finish line.
Hey Andrew, which grandstand would have the best views among T2, 3 and 16? I couldn’t get much footage from those corners, hence I’m pretty skeptical of the views. North grandstand should be much better but it is 1.5x the cost of T2/3/16 prices, I don’t want to splurge that much.
Hi, I have been at the 2023 Grand Prix in T2 Grandstand.
T2 Grandstands consists of two Grandstands.
– One is facing the short straight between T1 and T2.
– The other one is facing the exit of T2 and the infield.
I favored the grandstand facing the exit of T2 and infield, as you can see the cars much longer.
If North Grandstand is no option, I would go for T2 > T3 > T16.
In my opinion, T2 offers you the best options (two grandstands) in this price range, as you can experience different views of the on-track action with the same ticket as well.
I will be on the North Grandstand for the 2024 Grand Prix. :)
Great intel, thanks a lot Robert
