As the Formula 1 season accelerates toward its conclusion, the Lusail International Circuit (LIC) has released comprehensive spectator guidelines for the Formula 1 Qatar Airways Qatar Grand Prix 2025. Scheduled from November 28 to 30, the penultimate round of the championship promises a fusion of high-speed racing and world-class entertainment under the iconic floodlights.
To ensure a seamless race weekend, organisers are emphasising a digital-first approach. Fans are encouraged to download the LIC App from the App Store or Google Play to access mobile tickets, a move aligned with LIC’s sustainability goal of paperless entry. For navigation, the LIC App serves as an essential guide, offering an immersive 3D map to locate parking, seating, and amenities.
The circuit gates will open at 12pm on Friday and Sunday, and at 1.30pm on Saturday. While the venue remains open for post-race concerts, the Fan Zone will close shortly after the track action ends. Spectators should note that strict security measures are in place; valid ID and QR code tickets are required for entry, and re-entry is not permitted once leaving the venue perimeter.
The Doha Metro is the recommended transit backbone. Ticket holders can redeem a complimentary 3-Day Pass for unlimited journeys on the Metro and Lusail Tram. Extended services will run throughout the weekend, connecting to free electric shuttles at Lusail QNB Station to transport fans to the gates. For those driving, the LIC App provides real-time guidance to specific parking zones, while ride-share services like Uber and Karwa have dedicated drop-off points.
The excitement extends beyond the track with a star-studded concert lineup. Performances begin approximately 30 minutes after race events, featuring British singer Seal on Friday, Algerian legend Cheb Khaled on Saturday, and global rock icons Metallica closing the event on Sunday.
The revamped Fan Zone features the Middle East debut of the LEGO “Build The Thrill” experience, alongside cultural heritage showcases and F1 activations like Sim Racing. In a move toward inclusivity, a new Sensory Room is available for guests with sensory sensitivities.
With November evenings bringing cooler temperatures, fans are advised to dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes. The venue operates as a largely cashless environment, so bank cards are essential. Highlighting LIC’s commitment to sustainability, the circuit is powered by a massive rooftop solar array and minimises single-use plastics, offering free drinking water stations throughout the venue.
