    The eagerly awaited Qtel Masters of Qatar got underway today with a two- hour Free Practice session at what drivers have described as one of the best motor racing circuits on the world stage.

    The scorching desert heat generated a midday track temperature of 46-degrees and with temperatures expected to rise even further ahead of Saturday’s race, the demanding and unforgiving climate is the only concern at what is an exceptionally challenging, quick and rewarding driver’s circuit.

    All the Masters (except Arnoux who arrives tonight) were in action today undertaking familiarisation laps and understanding how best to set-up the 600bhp cars ahead of this weekend’s first-ever four- wheeled motor race in Qatar.

    I read somewhere that Prost and Lauda both didnt want to race so they put across a ridiculous attendance fee which the GP Masters organizers couldnt afford. So both these guys will not be participating.
