The Club also constantly improves and optimizes every aspect of circuit zone allocation and activity scheduling to leave both fans and race participants equally satisfied with the overall experience. It’s rather simple, the world places its trust in us, and we repay it by organizing breathtakingly fun and exciting events.”

The event will also align with Qatar National Vision 2030’s sustainability agenda, meaning that each phase will be optimized to be held in the most feasibly sustainable and environmentally-friendly way possible.
