"This is obviously a major project for Qatar and we are proud to be able to say we will hold the first grand prix event under lights," added Nasser Bin Khalifa Al-Attiyah from the Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation. "Whilst this is great for the country's image as a whole, it also means our track can be used in the hot summer months and we hope this opens up more opportunities for other motorsports events in the future."

Formula One is also expected to announce its first night race soon, in Singapore.
