GP2 Asia: A new venue and a night event

The GP2 Series organisation announced that the fourth round of the GP2 Asia Series 08-09 Championship would now take place in Qatar instead of Dubai as previously scheduled for the end of February 2009.

The GP2 Asia Series circus will now compete at the Losail International Circuit on February 6th and 7th.

Qatar is not only a new addition to the calendar, but it also marks a historical event for GP2 as the entire race weekend will take place at night, providing a new challenge for all thirteen teams and twenty-six drivers in the series.

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