Grand Prix of Qatar 2013: 07 April
On the desert safari - can choose 4 wheels or 4 legs!
Rookie Moto2 rider Gino Rea was our opening reception guest Friday
The Qatar girls...
We enjoy a fantastic Arabic meal inthe city tour (complete with camel!)
Cal Crutchlow's dad, Derek (l) still has his moustache of 40 years as we celebrate Cal's front row start. Won't last much longer...
Sundown and the action start at the Losail circuit!
Scotland was present in force... Here at main grandstands
Dani in action, from the main grandstands
Part of the VIP crowd toast a fantastic weekend. Dani looks on in approval...
Jorge really WAS on fire!
We award our special guest Cal Crutchlow with an official QMMF/Pole Position Travel mug for his great 4th place!
The incredible night skyline of Doha. Most of this wasn't here in 2004!
We say goodbye to Qatar in our traditional 3am fashion!
Qatar is turning into one of the most significant events on the MotoGP calendar. As the first race on the calendar this is the first opportunity to experience the return to the big 1000cc engines and their pilots in full anger after the winter testing and hibernation. Qatar is the event where speculation meets the road. Qatar is the eye-opener.
And just to make it REALLY interesting, the race is at night. Each year we are more and more dazzled by the spectacular view of the circuit lit up. Seeing the lights reflect off the surfaces, and sometimes even a glimpse of a rider's face behind the untinted faceshield is unique to Losail! 2011 saw the return of Stoner to the Honda machine and taking his victory as usual! For 2012 we could see it all mixed up as that extra 200cc kicks in.
We go 'way back in Qatar - eagerly jumping on it when it was first run in 2004. We probably sell more grandstand tickets than anyone outside of the Middle East, and we dominate the VIP Village. In fact, this year we expect to run our 'Pole Position Club' in a private VIP Village area, bringing in addition to 'normal' VIP benefits, our own touches such as our hosts/hostesses, contests, special gifts, special speakers from the paddock. The VIP Village itself features one of the most breathtaking service road tours in MotoGP putting you right on top of this unique circuit. And the VIP Village is the only place on the track where you can get a beer... The event is so sparsely attended that seeing riders, getting autographs and photos, and generally feeling like you are on the 'inside' is commonplace. This year we offer a mid-range facility, the Losail Club, in a great viewing position with full catering and a chance to get indoors in case it does get too chilly! At half the price of VIP Village this make a good upgrade from the grandstands - strongly recommended if you are thinking of grandstands.
We have a great choice of package for all requests. If you want to go all-out, join us in in our Deluxe package in a top 5* hotel in Doha, always the base for several of the factory MotoGP teams. This year we have introduced a new Classic package - in an excellent 4* hotel (with bar!) downtown. Qatar is not usually cheap; but this package with grandstands works out less expensive than many European counterparts (in just 3* hotels!)
Of course for all our packages, we take care of you from the moment you land if you wish, and we will have a team on hand to help with anything.
Our programme is packed, starting with an optional Friday Desert Safari which has become a tradition with us as we descend the 'hill of death' in our 4x4s, then whacking a few dunes on our Quads... Our opening party Friday sets the stage... Saturday we do a city tour taking in the camels, the shopping, and the architecture, and end up on a very chilled out Dhow cruise around the harbour (numbers permitting). Its like a whole weekend before the weekend racing! Sunday we always keep the hotel bar open for a night cap; some paddock denizens always join us.
