The 2026 MotoGP 20th round, the Qatar Grand Prix, continues amid uncertainties from the Middle East unrest, with races scheduled from 6-8 November at Lusail International Circuit in Qatar.
Thai fans will continue to support rising star Kiattisak Singhapong, rider number 85 from the Honda Race to the Dream project, competing in the Moto3 World Championship road racing series.
