Qatar Makes History at Le Mans 2026: Team Qatar Unveils Driver Line Up & New Livery

0

Team Qatar will make its debut at the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans from 10 to 14 June, marking a landmark moment for Qatari motorsport as the nation takes its place on the grid of one of the world’s most prestigious and demanding races.

The programme is delivered through a strategic partnership between Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation (QMMF) and Iron Lynx, alongside a collaboration with Mercedes-AMG Motorsport, with Team Qatar set to compete in the LMGT3 category aboard the Mercedes-AMG Motorsport LMGT3.

Taking place from 13 to 14 June at Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, France, the 24 Hours of Le Mans stands as the pinnacle event of endurance racing and the centerpiece of the FIA World Endurance Championship calendar. First held in 1923, the race tests drivers, teams, and manufacturers across an uninterrupted 24 hour contest where speed, reliability, strategy, and endurance determine success.

Team Qatar will arrive at Le Mans following a rapid rise in international endurance racing competition. In a short period, the programme has established itself through a series of standout performances across leading endurance championships and events.

Recent milestones include securing the 2025 24H Series Overall championship with victories in the 992 AM Drivers Championship, 992 AM Teams Championship and Overall 992 Teams Championship. Team Qatar also claimed victory in the 24 Hours of Dubai in the 992 AM category and continued its momentum into 2026 with category wins at the 6 Hours of Abu Dhabi and the 12 Hours of Mugello.

The team has also delivered strong performances in the European Le Mans Series campaign with pole positions in Barcelona and Paul Ricard in the LMGT3 category. At the season opener in Barcelona, Abdulla Al Khelaifi earned Most Valuable Driver honours after leading the race for more than seventy percent of the event before Team Qatar ultimately secured fourth position.

The Team Qatar lineup for Le Mans brings together Qatari driver Abdulla Al Khelaifi alongside Julian Hanses and Giuliano Alesi, combining international endurance racing experience with local talent on motorsport’s biggest stage.


Abdulrahman bin Abdullatif Al Mannai, President of Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation (QMMF) and Lusail International Circuit (LIC), said:

“Team Qatar’s participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans is an important moment for Qatari motorsport and reflects the country’s growing presence on the international stage. The achievements and the participation of Team Qatar represents the fruition of the long term investment and vision of QMMF, and its continuous goal to inspire future generations, and creating a pathway for them to compete at the highest level of motorsport. Through our partnership with Iron Lynx and collaboration with Mercedes-AMG Motorsport, we are creating opportunities to learn, grow, and establish a stronger foundation for Qatar in global endurance racing. We are proud to see Team Qatar compete at one of motorsport’s most iconic events and look forward to what this journey can achieve.”

Abdulrahman bin Abdullatif Al Mannai, President of Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation (QMMF) and Lusail International Circuit (LIC)

Andrea Piccini, Iron Lynx Team Principal and CEO, said:

“We are proud to have joined forces with QMMF, especially for this landmark moment, the first entry in the world’s most legendary race. Working with such a brilliant and dynamic federation is an important step for our team and we really appreciate the trust that they put into us.” He also added, “The QMMF achieved outstanding results in a really short time and we will give our maximum effort to help it continue its rise. We are confident in the potential of our lineup for this race and we will give our one hundred percent to deliver the best results possible.”

Andrea Piccini, Iron Lynx Team Principal and CEO

Abdulla Al Khelaifi said:

“For all of us at Team Qatar, competing at Le Mans is a proud and exciting moment. This race represents the highest level of endurance racing and being part of it is an incredible opportunity for our team. We arrive with great respect for the challenge ahead and with a strong desire to learn from the experience, continue developing as a team, and represent Qatar in the best possible way. We are excited for the opportunity ahead and hope to make our mark on one of the biggest stages in motorsport.”

Astro Automotive Services is opening the doors to Astroworld Vol.001, its first ever public automotive exhibition, and it is unlike anything Doha has seen before. Think immersive spaces, stunning machines, specialty coffee, and a story that started in a single garage shed in Al Wakrah.

What Is Astroworld Vol.001?

Astroworld Vol.001 is an immersive automotive exhibition by Astro Automotive Services, a Qatari-owned members club built for people who see their cars as more than just machines.

The Story Behind Astro

Astro was born in a single car garage in Al Wakrah. What started as a passion project around one Porsche 911 GT3 RS grew into something much bigger. Drive it, detail it, store it, repeat. That ritual became a community, the community needed a home, and that home became Astro Home Base.

A 4,000 sqm underground facility in Al Bidda, built by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts. Founded in 2020, Astro Automotive Services now serves members around the clock, with specialists trained across every high-end and classic marque you can think of.

Astroworld Vol.001 is the first time the public gets to step inside that world.

Cars, coffee, culture, and a space that has real personality behind it. Not a corporate showcase. Not a mall pop-up. Something that actually means something.

Hajj 2026: Ministry of Public Health Qatar Shares Essential Food Safety Tips for Pilgrims

0

As thousands of pilgrims prepare for Hajj 2026, staying healthy throughout the spiritual journey remains just as important as preparing for the rituals themselves. To help pilgrims complete their journey safely, Qatar’s Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) has shared important food safety tips for Hajj pilgrims, encouraging travellers to make smart food and water choices while in Saudi Arabia.

With long hours outdoors, crowded spaces, and changing temperatures, food safety becomes especially important during Hajj. Following simple precautions can help pilgrims avoid food poisoning, dehydration, and health risks, ensuring they can focus on their worship without interruption.

Choose Your Food Carefully During Hajj

The Ministry of Public Health advises pilgrims to be extra cautious when buying meals or drinks during Hajj.

One of the most important recommendations is to ensure that food is purchased only from clean and hygienic establishments. Before buying food, pilgrims are encouraged to check if the surroundings and staff maintain proper cleanliness standards.

Pilgrims should also avoid uncovered food or meals displayed in unsuitable temperatures, as these may increase the risk of contamination, especially during hot weather conditions.

Another key piece of advice is to stay away from food of unknown origin. While it may be tempting to try easily available options during busy pilgrimage days, choosing trusted and reliable food sources can significantly reduce health risks.

Water Safety Is Just as Important

Staying hydrated during Hajj is essential, but pilgrims are encouraged to choose their drinking water carefully.

The Ministry recommends drinking bottled water or water from safe and trusted sources. Pilgrims should also check that water bottles are properly sealed and intact before use to avoid contamination.

In hot weather, proper hydration is vital not only for comfort but also for helping pilgrims safely complete physically demanding rituals.

Why Food Safety Matters During Hajj

Every year, health authorities remind pilgrims that foodborne illnesses can disrupt travel plans and impact their ability to comfortably complete religious rituals.

Simple precautions like choosing clean food vendors, avoiding exposed meals, and drinking safe water can go a long way in helping pilgrims stay healthy throughout their spiritual journey.

As Hajj season approaches, Qatar’s health authorities are urging travellers to prioritise wellness alongside worship.

Food Safety Tips for Hajj Pilgrims at a Glance:

  • Buy food from clean establishments only
  • Avoid uncovered food or meals kept at unsafe temperatures
  • Do not consume food from unknown sources
  • Choose bottled water or water from trusted sources
  • Check that water bottles are sealed before drinking

With the right precautions, pilgrims can focus on what matters most, completing their Hajj rituals safely and peacefully.
