The wait is finally over for the region’s motorsport fans, as the Formula 1 Qatar Airways Qatar Grand Prix 2024 gets ready to speed into Lusail International Circuit (LIC) next Friday, 29 November, for three days of world-class racing and entertainment.
Thousands of racegoers have already snapped up tickets to the hotly-anticipated penultimate race of the 2024 Formula 1 season. Following Max Verstappen’s victory in clinching the Formula 1 World Champion title during the Las Vegas Grand Prix, this event is expected to witness fierce competition among top teams, including McLaren Formula 1 Team, Scuderia Ferrari, and Oracle Red Bull Racing, as they strive for the coveted Constructors’ Championship title.
With a jaw-dropping array of action on and off the track, LIC has put together an indispensable guide featuring everything you should know ahead of next weekend’s F1 extravaganza.
Affectionately known as Family Friday, children under 12 can get free access to the general admission area on Lusail Hill (when accompanied by a parent or guardian who has purchased a full price ticket) enabling them to enjoy a myriad of activities in the Fan Zone. A maximum of four free child tickets can be booked by an adult purchasing a full price ticket only for Friday General admission. A wide range of other activities will be featured throughout the circuit including virtual reality laser tag, two-in-one go karting for children and teens, face painting, an immersive AI photobooth and kids car racing.
This year, the on-track action is bigger and better than ever. page 15
