Qatar Grand Prix Watch Party

Only two races left for the season! It's a close one likely coming down to the final chequered flag.

Join us at the Celtic this Sunday morning for the Qatar Grand Prix. The pre-race show starts at 8:30 am with lights out for the scheduled race start at 9:00 am.

Food and (adult) beverages will be available the entire time.
Because of the group size and staffing needs, we request that everyone meet the "two-drink minimum." That being said, ordering food counts, so even if you're not a drinker, it shouldn't be hard to find something. Just get anything, and the Celtic will continue to welcome us with open arms.

New and long-time fans of every driver/team are welcome. If it's your first time and/or you'll be alone, send us a DM and we'll set aside a spot for you in the Organizers' VIP Paddock so you can make some new friends (space permitting).

## Qatar

### When was the track built?

The Lusail International Circuit, located on the outskirts of the capital city of Doha, was built in preparation for hosting Qatar’s first ever MotoGP event in 2004, with the circuit completed in just over a year.

### When was its first Grand Prix?

2021 represented the first time Qatar had ever hosted the FIA Formula One World Championship – with the country signing an additional 10-year deal to host the sport from 2023.

### What’s the circuit like?

Designed primarily with motorcycle racing in mind, the 5.4-kilometre Lusail International Circuit is a fast and flowing track, where medium- and high-speed corners predominate. Over one kilometre of the track’s total length is made up of the main straight, which provides plenty of overtaking opportunities into Turn 1.
