[Plan this experience]() [Explore the story]() Cost **QAR 125 / driver** Time to allow **One drive 12 minutes** Place **Karting facility, Lusail International Circuit / North Relief Road** 01 / The experience ### 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. ![Yellow-and-black rental kart beside Lusail’s blue-and-white kerbing]() Race And Circuit **Lusail public karting** Doha and Lusail Yellow rental karts rounding a floodlit bend at Lusail Yellow-and-black rental kart beside Lusail’s blue-and-white kerbing Blue-and-yellow Lusail Karting gantry above the track at dusk 04 / Before you go ### Plan your visit #### Cost & admission QAR 125 per driver for one 12-minute session. Allow an ≈ QAR 140 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 390, food excluded. Metro/card fares and a separate local car are extra if using rail for part of the trip. #### When to go Regular schedule Wednesday–Saturday 18:00–23:00, subject to the booking calendar, weather and venue operations. NovemberF1-week access is unconfirmed. One drive 12 minutes; arrive at least 30 minutes before the session. Allow 60–90 minutes at the venue plus travel. #### Getting there Karting facility, Lusail International Circuit / North Relief Road 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. #### Before you book 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. [Visit the venue or operator]() #### Your return journey 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. #### Accessibility Kart-seat transfer, restraint fit and the ability to operate the controls are separate from access to the circuit grounds. Discuss mobility and spectator access before buying. The karting rules prohibit participation during pregnancy or with specified heart, epilepsy, back or neck conditions; ask the venue about your circumstances. ### Location & nearby places Explore around Lusail public karting The map will load when you reach it. 06 / Good to know ### Lusail public karting: frequently asked questions 01 Does Lusail public karting use the Formula 1 track?
