The 2024 Qatar motorcycle Grand Prix (officially known as the Qatar Airways Grand Prix of Qatar) was the first round of the 2024 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. It was held at the Lusail International Circuit in Lusail on 10 March 2024.
Dorna Sports officially announced changes to the format of the MotoGP racing week in 2024, specifically the format of the Moto3 and Moto2 class training sessions. They announced this through the official championship website. Just like the MotoGP class, the Moto3 and Moto2 practice sessions on Friday morning are now called 'first free practice sessions' aka FP1, which means that the time recorded in this session does not count to determine which riders qualify for the Qualification 1 (Q1) and Qualification 2 (Q2) sessions. Meanwhile, the Moto3 and Moto2 practice sessions on Friday afternoon are now called 'first practice sessions' aka PR1. The Moto3 and Moto2 practice sessions on Saturday morning are still called 'second practice sessions' aka PR2. The combination of time records in the PR1 and PR2 sessions also determines which riders qualify for Q1 and Q2. The MotoGP class format has not changed. The FP1 session on Friday morning and the FP2 session on Saturday afternoon do not determine which riders qualify for Q1 and Q2, as this will be determined in the PR session on Friday afternoon. The Sprint race will still be held on Saturday afternoon, while the warm-up session (WUP) will be held on Sunday morning. The Moto3, Moto2, and MotoGP Grand Prix races will still be held on Sunday afternoon. Then, the MotoE schedule will be adjusted to the schedule of the other three classes. [1]
