The Grand Auto Show Moves to Lusail International Circuit

On 23 January 2027, The Grand Auto Show will take place at one of the Middle East's most prestigious motorsport venues: Lusail International Circuit. Since opening in 2004, Lusail has established itself as one of the world's leading racing circuits. Originally built for MotoGP, the venue has since hosted Formula 1, the FIA World Endurance Championship, Formula 2, Formula 3 and numerous international motorsport events. Following a major redevelopment completed in 2023, the circuit now offers state-of-the-art facilities, premium hospitality areas and modern pit garages that rank among the finest in the region.

For The Grand Auto Show, Lusail provides the ideal setting to introduce a completely new event experience.

Unlike a traditional indoor exhibition, the circuit allows visitors to experience automotive culture in an environment designed for performance, engineering and innovation. Wide open spaces, impressive paddock areas and premium hospitality facilities create opportunities that simply cannot be replicated inside a convention centre.

Throughout the day, visitors can expect an inspiring mix of exceptional vehicles, automotive brands, clubs, collectors and enthusiasts coming together in one iconic location. The venue also creates unique opportunities for manufacturers, partners and exhibitors to present their brands through hospitality experiences, networking activities and product showcases.
