2026 FuelFest Qatar

FuelFest Qatar is a one-day automotive culture festival held at Katara South Parking in Doha on 23 January 2026. The event mixes car displays, drift demonstrations, celebrity appearances and live music under the FuelFest brand.

Organised by FuelFest with Visit Qatar as a destination partner, the festival opened at 13:00 and attracted a reported ~6,260 attendees. It is presented as an entertainment-led show rather than a federated motorsport competition.

FuelFest Qatar condenses car culture into an afternoon of displays, drifting demos and stage entertainment at Katara South Parking.

What makes it worth the trip:

• Live drift demonstrations and curated car displays offering close-up viewing of modified cars and performance builds.
• Celebrity appearances and music performances provide a festival atmosphere beyond a static car show.
• Compact one-day schedule makes it easy to plan around a short stay in Doha.

Best way to experience it:

Arrive early (doors listed at 13:00) to secure good viewing spots for demos and avoid late crowds. Buy tickets in advance via the Platinumlist listing linked from the official FuelFest Qatar page. Use ride-hail or public transport where possible—Katara parking can be busy—and bring ear and sun protection for outdoor displays.

Good to know:

• Tickets were sold via Platinumlist; the official FuelFest page and Visit Qatar were primary sources for event info.
• The event is entertainment-focused and not listed with a motorsport sanctioning body; drift demos are show demonstrations rather than race series competition.

• Great if you want close-up drift demos and modified car displays.
• Great if you enjoy a festival mix of cars, music and celebrity appearances.
• Great if you like a compact, single-day automotive event that fits a short trip.
• Maybe skip if you prefer officially sanctioned motorsport competition or timed races.
