Lusail International Circuit — F1's November night race in Doha, 6.5 hours from London
The Qatar Grand Prix at Lusail International Circuit is a night race under floodlights at a purpose-built motorsport venue located approximately 20 kilometres north of Doha city centre. The circuit had hosted MotoGP for many years before Formula 1 arrived in Qatar, and the Lusail area is adjacent to the Lusail Iconic Stadium — which hosted the 2022 FIFA World Cup Final. Qatar's investment in world-class sport infrastructure across the emirate extends to the F1 GP, which benefits from excellent facilities for drivers, teams, and spectators.
For UK-based F1 clients, Qatar Airways operates from Heathrow Terminal 4 with multiple daily flights to Hamad International Airport (DOH) in Doha — approximately 6.5 hours. Qatar is 3 hours ahead of London in November. The circuit at Lusail is approximately 20 minutes from Doha by road. Luxelimo provides the London airport transfer from home or hotel to Heathrow Terminal 4, timed for the Qatar Airways departure. As a night race, the event runs from afternoon into the Qatari night — most clients attend practice and qualify on Friday and Saturday, with the race itself on Sunday evening under floodlights.
The Qatar GP is held in late November — one of the final rounds of the season, often with championship significance as the standings approach their conclusion. The race has been designated a Sprint weekend in recent editions, meaning the programme includes a Saturday Sprint race in addition to the main Sunday Grand Prix. Doha has developed significantly in recent years: the Museum of Islamic Art, the Souq Waqif traditional market, the Pearl-Qatar island development, and the extensive FIFA World Cup stadium district all provide cultural and hospitality content for GP clients extending their stay beyond the race weekend.
For private aviation clients, Hamad International Airport is a world-class private aviation facility. A private jet from Farnborough or Biggin Hill to Doha takes approximately 6 to 7 hours. Luxelimo provides landside transfers from London to the FBO with timing matched to the departure slot, and return collections from Heathrow Terminal 4 after the commercial return flight.
