The Losail International Circuit of Qatar will host a MotoGP race in October, before staging a round of the World Superbikes series in 2005.
Track chiefs say it has no intention of bidding for Formula One races yet – modifications to the track would be needed to bring it up to standard – but says it has secured a long-term commitment from MotoGP to stage races at the circuit.
The track cost an estimated $75m.
