GP2 heads for Qatar night race

The GP2 Series organisation will hold the fourth round of its Asian Series in Qatar instead of Dubai as previously scheduled. The series will visit the Losail International Circuit on February 6-7. Qatar is not only a new addition to the calendar, but will also be a night race, providing a new challenge for the 13 teams.

It will also be the first time that the Losail International Circuit organise a single-seater night race.

The success of the night Grand Prix in Singapore generated tremendous interest and GP2 is hoping to get a similar reaction.
