FIA president Jean Todt has indicated that Qatar will host a Formula 1 race in the near future.
The Country already stages MotoGP races at the Losail circuit, which is being modernised so it can accommodate F1 events.
Qatar Motor and Motorcycling Federation president Nasser bin Khalifa al-Attiyah told the Gulf Times: "F1 is part of our future plans. Once everything is in place, the track will be evaluated by the safety commissioner and then licensed for official F1 testing. After that we will be ready to be part of the F1 circuit."
And Todt gave his blessing when he added: "It's easy for Qatar to host an F1 race. It's a commercial matter that has to be solved by the F1 body [Formula One Management] and the local organisers. We already have two F1 races [Bahrain and Abu Dhabi] in the Middle East. It will be a welcome addition if Qatar also gets one."
