The two-night test marks the first time that
MotoGP bikes have ridden on a floodlit circuit and the last chance for track time before the inaugural MotoGP night race, to be held back at Losail on March 9, opens the 2008 racing season.
The full 18-rider 2008 MotoGP line-up are present for the special test, which concludes on Friday night.
Previous night tests at Qatar took place on a partially floodlit circuit, using road bikes.
