The race at the Lusail International Circuit, originally scheduled for April, was postponed to Nov 6 to 8 due to the conflict, which has spread through much of the region, beyond the initial US-Israeli attacks on Iran.
A group of riders had sought more assurances over travel to the Gulf region, such as details on evacuation plans and indemnity insurance.
