Lusail has a bag size limit but no clear bag requirement — this is meaningfully different from US races like Las Vegas and Miami. A standard small backpack in any colour is fine, provided it fits within the maximum dimensions. Check the size before you leave your hotel.
30 × 20 × 20 cm
Maximum bag dimensions in any direction
Approximately 12" × 8" × 8"
Any bag that exceeds this limit in any dimension will be turned away at security. This catches medium-sized daypacks that feel small in everyday use — measure your bag before race weekend, not at the gate.
No clear bag is required. Colour and material make no difference — only the dimensions are checked.
✓Small backpack or tote — any colour, within 30 × 20 × 20cm
✓Clutch bag or small purse (within size limit)
✓Compact camera (without detachable lens)
✓Personal medication (up to one pack of each type, maximum 7 types)
✓Mobile phone, power bank, earplugs
There is no bag storage at Lusail International Circuit. If your bag fails the size check at security, the only option is to return it to your hotel. Depending on where you are staying and how you got to the circuit, this could mean a significant detour.
There is also no re-entry once you pass through the circuit security perimeter. Pack everything you need before you enter — food and drink are available inside the venue.
Before you leave your hotel
Measure your bag against the 30 × 20 × 20cm limit. Check it fits with everything packed inside, not empty.
