Qatar has announced plans to briಞng its Losail circuit up to the standards required to host a Formula 1 Grand Prix.

The Middle Eastern circuit currently hosts a round of MotoGP and held the first night race in the series' history earlier ꦰthis month.

Now the circuit aims to try and bring itself up to F1 standards to ensure that Qatar is able to host a round of the Formula 1 World Championship in the future, with the possibility ꦗthat the country could join Bahrain in holding an event in the Middle East.

"We are planning a massive upgrade of the Losail circuit to make it possible to host Formula One races when the time comes," Qatar Motor and Motorcycling Federation president Nasser Khalifa al-Attiyah told Qatar's Gulf Times. "We will be shortly inviting tenders for the job and once we decide on whom 🌼to award the 💮contract, work will start soon."

al-Attiyah added that bringing the circuit 🧸up to F1 standard could also provide teams with a new testing ve🎉nue in future, which in turn would help to bring in more money.

"You cannot say what is going to happen in the future," he said. "Formula One teams can use the𝓀 track for testing which will put Qatar on the map and also help us earn good revenue."

Whether or not Qatar𝓀 would aim to host a Formula 1 race under lights in future remaiജns to be seen, although the MotoGP event was deemed to be a success by the majority of people involved.
