Qatar is a leading exporter of natural gas and crude oil and a member of OPEC. With crude down below $60 a barrel a lot of their income has gone away. While ties to some questionable doings by their government the Sheik was a big ambassador of racing. I saw him hand a competitor a check for $10000 after he crashed at an ADRL event to help with his rebuild. Most knew it would not last forever but ultimately his government/family controlled the funding.
