    Ferrari Hypercar

    1812 km of Qatar

    28 March 2026
    The Lusail International Circuit is located near the town of the same name, situated 23 kilometres from Doha, Qatar.

    It was inaugurated in 2004 with a round of the MotoGP World Championship.

    The circuit spans 5.419 kilometres and is surrounded by artificial grass to minimise the flow of sand carried by the wind from the nearby desert.

    Since 2008, the circuit has been equipped with a lighting system that allows for night racing.

    In 2022, a project to modernise the facility began and it was completed a year later. The upgrades included a new race control centre, media centre, and tunnels for fan access. The green areas, pit boxes, seating capacity (now 40,000), and parking spaces have all been expanded.

    The layout of the track remained unchanged except for resurfacing the asphalt in 2023 and smoothing seven of the 16 existing kerbs (10 right-hand corners and 6 left-hand ones).

    The opening round of the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship is set to go down in motorsport history and in the memories of fans, thanks to a Ferrari triple on the Lusail circuit, home to the 1812 KM of Qatar. The victory was secured by Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina, and Nicklas Nielsen in the number 50 499P, crossing the line ahead of the number 83 car of AF Corse, driven by Yifei Ye, Robert Kubica, and Phil Hanson. Third place went to the other official Ferrari – AF Corse crew of Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado, and Antonio Giovinazzi.

    Until 2021, it was called Losail International Circuit. The difference reflects an altered spelling of the name Lusail.

    The main straight measures 1,068 metres, offering ample overtaking opportunities.

    There are nearly 4,000 reflectors on 1,000 light poles, with LED lighting introduced in 2020 as part of sustainability efforts.

    It’s a tribute to the national day of this country, which is celebrated on 18 December.

    499P is the name of the Le Mans Hypercar with which Ferrari has taken on the top class of the FIA WEC World Endurance Championship since the 2023 season – a name evoking the history of the Maranello manufacturer.
