DRAG AND DRIFT – BAHRAIN International Circuit (BIC) will today be hosting the latest edition of its action-packed double-header, the Ebrahim K Kanoo Drag and Drift Nights.
In this widely popular activity, speed enthusiasts are offered the chance to take their own cars or motorbikes and push them to their limits down BIC’s world-class quarter-mile drag strip, or put on a display of power sliding along BIC’s vast vehicle dynamics area.
There is also the option of doing both, making for twice the thrills in a single, high-octane event at ‘The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East’.
The event is scheduled to take place from 6pm to 11pm. Those interested in taking part can register on site from 5pm.
Both the drag and the drift can be enjoyed for a fee of BD11. Participation in just the drag racing or just the drifting costs BD8. Those who would like to experience the drag or drift as a passenger can get into a participant’s car for BD4.500.
The BIC strip is highly regarded as one of the best in the world of drag racing. It is a part of the prestigious NHRA Worldwide Network of the US-based National Hot Rod Association (NHRA).
Meanwhile, the vehicle dynamics area features a specially configured layout for drifters. It is surrounded by safety barriers, and is one of the largest open tarmac areas in Bahrain, making for an ideal venue for drifting enthusiasts to showcase their skills within a secure environment.
In addition to the drag racing and drifting, also available tonight is the Dragster Experience, also known as ‘the Fastest Ride on Earth’.
Fans will have a chance to get a taste of pure speed as they are taken from 0-100kph in seconds while seated in a Top Dragster. The Dragster Experience is available at BD44 for the first passenger, while a second passenger can get 50 per cent off.
Spectators can purchase their tickets online at bahraingp.com for BD2 apiece. Tickets for children aged 12 and below are BD1 each.
