Lusail Hill is general admission. Main Grandstand has assigned seats; the other public stands use free seating within their zones. A Friday-only ticket does not cover Saturday qualifying or Sunday’s Grand Prix.

Hero packages add Thursday activities to Friday–Sunday grandstand viewing. Champions Club, Hill Lounge, Novikov and Paddock Club are different hospitality choices: tours, food, parking and transfers follow the package you buy.

Before booking

Children, accessible tickets and package conditions

Family Friday allows up to four children under 12 per paid adult when their complimentary passes are secured in advance. The general organiser policy for children aged two and under gives no assigned seat; hospitality requires a full-price ticket.

Request wheelchair-user and companion tickets from tickets@lcsc.qa before buying. One paid wheelchair-user ticket includes one free companion, with government-ID verification required. Agree the accessible transfer and actual ticket entrance as well as the seat.

Voluntary changes, cancellations and upgrades are not offered. Refunds follow the full terms, including cancellation and legal exceptions. The FAQ permits family/friend transfers but the terms prohibit transfers: obtain written organiser permission before relying on one. Do not resell tickets.

Thursday pit walks and tours require the matching Hero package. Its guided track tour has a 110 cm minimum height. Team-suite garage tours can restrict other-team clothing. Optional four-night hotel additions include hotel-to-circuit transfers only when that hotel package is bought; airport transport is separate unless explicitly included.

Gondolania: indoor karting at Villaggio
01

Race And Circuit

Gondolania: indoor karting at Villaggio

The tight bends and red-and-yellow barriers at Gondolania put you in a driving seat of your own during a Qatar motorsport trip. The indoor track runs for 350 metres inside Villaggio Mall, with a briefing and a short rental-kart session making it an easy activity to build a free afternoon around. Friends can come for the karting together, while anyone sitting out has the mall and Gondolania’s other paid attractions nearby. Food in Villaggio makes lunch straightforward when everyone wants something different. Each attraction has its own charges and rider requirements. The Aspire location also gives you a worthwhile motorsport combination. 3-2-1’s collection and family Motor Sports trail are nearby, so an open museum day can include sporting history and a drive afterwards. Allow time for both entrances and the journey between them. Children need to meet the track’s own age, height and equipment-fit requirements before joining a session.

Gondolania, Villaggio Mall / Aspire Park Road, Al Waab

Individual sessions are normally bought at the track. Call +974 4403 9800 before travelling for the karting window, current driver height/age/weight limits, guardian consent, helmet and footwear rules, session duration and payment/refund terms. Wear closed shoes and secure loose clothing as instructed. Do not buy an unrelated park package assuming karting is included.

Estimated QAR 70–100 per driver for one short session. Session length, current tariff, any card/balaclava charge and extra laps must be agreed at purchase. Food, other attractions and transport are separate. Estimated return taxi allowance from a central Doha hotel: QAR 80–140 per vehicle for both journeys. Metro fares and travel cards are separate if using rail; actual road fares vary with the hotel, traffic and pickup.

Doha Quest: Quest for Speed & Oryx Speedway
02

Race And Circuit

Doha Quest: Quest for Speed & Oryx Speedway

Oryx Speedway puts friends in neighbouring racing rigs, with screens, pedals and steering controls set around moving platforms. The bucket seats and surrounding truss give this part of Doha Quest the feel of a small racing arena. It is a chance to compare braking and steering with the people you have been watching F1 alongside. Quest for Speed adds another racing attraction within the park. The available sessions determine whether the group can race together, and the cars and software can change. Come for the driving experience without relying on a particular F1 game or a recreation of Lusail. There is a full theme park around the simulators, including roller coasters and family rides. That makes Quest especially appealing when different members of the group want different activities. Admission is a significant part of the bill, so the practical section explains entry and possible simulator extras. A free afternoon followed by dinner in Msheireb or the souq is a good combination; the regular schedule closes on Sundays.

Doha Quest / Doha Oasis, Al Khaleej Street, Msheireb

Start at dohaquest.com and follow its current booking link. Obtain the selected date’s admission plus simulator total, included sessions, group-racing arrangement and cancellation terms. Ask for simulator-specific height, weight, age, footwear, restraint and motion/medical restrictions; the minimum for another ride does not apply automatically. Children 12 and under need the operator’s required adult supervision. Avoid buying admission solely for racing until the actual simulator is available for the party.

Advertised general admission: adults 13+ QAR 235; juniors 4–12 QAR 160; under-4s enter free but are not thereby eligible for a simulator. Estimated adult entry-and-racing allowance QAR 260–315, allowing QAR 25–80 for separately charged sessions if required. Obtain the actual product total and inclusions before buying. Food and transport extra. Estimated return taxi allowance from a central Doha hotel: QAR 30–70 per vehicle for both journeys. Metro fares and travel cards are separate if using rail; actual road fares vary with the hotel, traffic and pickup.

Mini Le Mans: karting at Trocadéro
03

Race And Circuit

Mini Le Mans: karting at Trocadéro

Coloured lights run along the railings at Mini Le Mans, picking out the bends in a glossy black indoor track. The black rental karts sit low behind their wraparound bumpers, with the next corner close enough to reward tidy steering rather than a long burst of speed. It is a fun way to bring some driving into a Qatar trip without leaving the city for an outdoor circuit. The track is inside Trocadéro at Place Vendôme in Lusail. That gives a group plenty to do around a session: anyone who would rather sit out can explore the mall, and lunch or dinner can stay in the same building. Bowling, laser games and other park attractions are separate choices, with their own prices and admission rules. Mini Le Mans makes particular sense from a Lusail hotel, or as the active part of an afternoon in the northern city. You can keep the outing short and spend more of the day elsewhere, or leave room for another session if everyone enjoys the first. The karting desk sets the driver requirements and available sessions; general access to the mall or theme park does not guarantee a drive. There is no need to make a Grand Prix day busier to fit it in. Give the karting its own free afternoon and reserve the three circuit days for the sessions you want to watch. Race-week karting hours and places need a separate booking.

Trocadéro, second floor, Place Vendôme Mall / Lusail

Call +97430002537 for the current karting tariff, session length, age/height/weight limits and equipment fit. Book the karting product itself; ask about guardian consent, cancellation, group racing and helmet/closed-shoe requirements. No race-week opening or session is guaranteed by ordinary park hours.

Estimated QAR 75–100 per driver for one short session; current session length, tariff and any equipment/card charge must be agreed at purchase. Other park activities and food are extra. Allow an estimated QAR 60–120 per vehicle for a central-Doha hotel return taxi, or QAR 30–60 for a nearby Lusail hotel. For two drivers, allow approximately QAR 210–320 for one session each and the central-Doha taxi return, food excluded.

Lusail public karting
04

Race And Circuit

Lusail public karting

Yellow-and-black rental karts, blue-and-white kerbs and an evening under floodlights: Lusail’s public karting gives you a drive of your own at the Grand Prix venue. The karting track is separate from the main F1 circuit, with a 900-metre layout and 270 cc karts for short sessions with friends or fellow visitors. Twelve minutes is enough for the first laps to become familiar and for a few corners to start coming together. The appeal is finding your own rhythm around a proper outdoor karting track, then comparing the session with whoever has joined you. Contact with other karts and barriers is prohibited; the briefing and flags are part of the drive. It is a different outing from watching the Grand Prix. Registration, equipment and the safety briefing all happen before the session, and the trip from Doha is significant enough to plan around a confirmed booking. If you want more than one drive, reserve the extra sessions rather than counting on another space when you finish. For an F1 holiday, the important distinction is the date. Ordinary public karting runs on selected evenings, but race preparations can change access. A Grand Prix ticket does not include a karting session, and a public karting booking does not provide paddock or main-track admission. Keep it as an optional outing until the booking calendar offers a session during your stay.

Karting facility, Lusail International Circuit / North Relief Road

Book a dated karting slot at members.lcsc.qa before arranging transport. Create the required profile, sign the waiver and arrive 30 minutes early for the briefing. Key requirements:13+, minimum 153 cm and maximum 120 kg; under 18 s use a guardian profile and need the guardian present. If the driver is exactly 13, obtain acceptance before paying because the detailed participation wording also says above 13. Registered bookings cannot be exchanged, rescheduled, transferred or refunded; operator weather/safety cancellations receive a future-use voucher. No November race-week slot has been confirmed.

QAR 125 per driver for one 12-minute session. Allow an estimated QAR 100–180 per vehicle for a central-Doha hotel return car; extra sessions, waiting time and meals are additional. Two drivers with one session each and the car return: approximately QAR 350–430, food excluded. Metro/card fares and a separate local car are extra if using rail for part of the trip.
