MOTORSPORT – Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) is set for another action-packed weekend at its world-class grassroots racing facility, with the seventh and penultimate round of the 2024-25 Bahrain Rotax MAX Challenge (BRMC) taking place on Friday in Sakhir.
Bahrain International Karting Circuit (BIKC) will be the setting for plenty of wheel-to-wheel battles between the kingdom’s top karting talents of various ages and nationalities.
The excitement in the series is set to reach fever pitch with only two meetings remaining in this campaign. The chequered flag is set to come down on the thrilling title races in the BRMC’s various categories, including the Micro MAX, Mini MAX, Junior MAX, Senior MAX, DD2 MAX, and DD2 MAX Masters.
Action on Friday is scheduled to begin from 9am and continue until 6pm along BIKC’s 1.414-kilometre CIK-FIA track. All are welcome to attend and cheer for the karters. Entrance to BIKC is free of charge.
The BRMC is organised by BIC, BIKC, the Bahrain Motor Federation, the Bahrain Karting Commission, and the Motorsport Marshals Club. This season’s champions will not only enjoy that tag, but also have the incredible opportunity to fly the kingdom’s flag in the annual Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals – one of the most prestigious annual karting events in the world.
