##### Frequently asked questions

###### Is Gondolania karting at Lusail International Circuit?

Gondolania is indoor rental karting at Villaggio Mall in Al Waab. F1 circuit admission and race shuttles are separate.

###### Can children drive karts at Gondolania?

Children can drive at Gondolania only if they meet the kart operator’s current driver requirements and guardian rules. General admission to the family park does not establish karting eligibility.

###### Can I combine Gondolania karting with the 3-2-1 museum?

Gondolania karting and the 3-2-1 museum can be combined on a day when both operate, with separate admission and the actual walk or local car connection. The museum closes Tuesday.

##### Accessibility

| --- | --- |
| Note | The mall approach and kart transfer are different questions. Request the step-free mall entrance, route to the desk, accessible toilet and any queue assistance. The operator must establish whether the driver can transfer into the kart and use its controls; do not assume adapted karts are available. |

##### Frequently asked questions

###### Does a Doha Quest park ticket include both racing simulators?

Check the inclusions on your dated Doha Quest ticket. Budget for admission and possible additional simulator sessions; an old discounted session price or generic all-access headline is insufficient.

###### Can we race each other at Doha Quest’s Oryx Speedway?

Oryx Speedway at Doha Quest has multiplayer racing equipment. Ask the desk for the operating rigs, game format and a shared session before paying.

###### Is Doha Quest open on Qatar Grand Prix Sunday?

Doha Quest is normally closed on Sunday. Choose an open free day unless the dated operator calendar expressly provides another arrangement.

##### Accessibility

| Detail | Information |
| --- | --- |
| Note | Doha Oasis has lifts and escalators, but ride access needs a separate assessment. Ask for the step-free Gate 2 route, accessible toilets, queue assistance, seat transfer and whether the chosen moving simulator can accommodate the rider. Do not assume a wheelchair can remain on the platform or that motion can be disabled. |

If visiting the souq for dinner, finish the hotel journey from its perimeter pickup. After a late session or meal, use a licensed taxi rather than relying on an unannounced late train.

| Title | Your return journey |
| Text | Leave through the same mall entrance agreed with your driver and return to your hotel by licensed taxi or booked car. Keep the entrance name and driver contact on your phone; allow 45–75 minutes to central Doha in busy traffic. For rail, retrace the operating tram connection to Legtaifiya and the Red Line towards your hotel station, allowing for the last train and any interchange. If the tram is suspended or the connection is too late, use a car for the remaining journey. |

| Booking Url | [https://www.lcsc.qa/lusail-karting-0](<https://www.lcsc.qa/lusail-karting-0>) |
| Booking Text | 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. |
| Price Amount | 125 |
| Price Currency | QAR |
| Price Text | 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. |
| Cost Label | QAR 125 / driver |
| Duration Text | One drive 12 minutes; arrive at least 30 minutes before the session. Allow 60–90 minutes at the venue plus travel. |
| Opening Hours Text | Regular schedule Wednesday–Saturday 18:00–23:00, subject to the booking calendar, weather and venue operations. NovemberF1-week access is unconfirmed. |
| Getting There | Book a car to Lusail’s public karting reception, specifying karting rather than a Grand Prix grandstand. The ordinary access instructions use East Gate, with Main Gate as an alternative followed by karting signs; use the entrance confirmed for your dated session. The pin marks a point on the karting track, not a drop-off. Allow 45–75 minutes from central Doha, plus the mandatory 30-minute early arrival. A Red Line train to Lusail QNB can be combined with a separately booked local car, but the Metro does not reach karting and the F1 event shuttle is not a normal karting service. |

##### Frequently asked questions

###### Does Lusail public karting use the Formula 1 track?

Lusail public karting uses a separate karting track, with its own karts, rules and booking.

###### Can I book Lusail public karting during Grand Prix week?

Lusail public karting is available during Grand Prix week only if a dated public session is offered and booked. Ordinary evening hours do not guarantee access during race preparations.

###### Return Transfer

| Detail | Information |

| Title | Your return journey |
| Text | Arrange the return pickup before your session, at the authorised karting exit or gate agreed with the venue and driver. Keep the driver’s number and allow 45–75 minutes back to central Doha, with extra time if circuit operations affect roads. If returning by local car to Lusail QNB and Metro, leave enough time for the last Red Line service and any hotel-line change; otherwise use the booked car directly to the hotel. Do not depend on an F1 shuttle or a walk along the circuit access roads. |
