Despite the ongoing geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East, Qatar is pressing ahead with its plans to host upcoming MotoGP and Formula One events. Abdul Rahman bin Abdullatif Al Mannai, president of the Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation (QMMF), confirmed that preparations for the races remain on track. While the World Endurance Championship has already opted to cancel its October round in the country, organizers are maintaining a "business as usual" approach for the November schedule, emphasizing that the nation’s infrastructure and airports remain fully operational.

Al Mannai acknowledged that the situation remains fluid and difficult to predict, but stressed that the federation must continue its preparations to be ready should conditions hold stable. While Formula One management has indicated that a final decision regarding the November 29 race at the Lusail circuit will be made in mid-September, Qatari officials are proceeding with the expectation that the events will go forward. With regional tensions impacting broader logistics and security concerns, the QMMF is taking a cautious, step-by-step approach to ensure both safety and operational continuity for these high-profile sporting fixtures.
