MOTORSPORT – Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), ‘The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East’, hosts a pair of its most popular fan experiences this week.
Taking place tonight in Sakhir is Ebrahim K Kanoo Drag and Drift Nights, followed tomorrow evening by the final Batelco Fitness on Track of the season.
Those interested in being a part of either event can book their slot online at bahraingp.com or by calling the BIC Hotline on +973-17450000. More information is also available through both channels.
Ebrahim K Kanoo Drag and Drift Nights will be lighting up the circuit’s quarter-mile drag strip and vast drift park for twice the excitement in one event.
Participants will be able to bring their very own cars or motorbikes and push them to their limits either in drag racing or in drifting. There is also the option to do both, making for a unique and memorable evening at BIC.
Tonight’s Ebrahim K Kanoo Drag and Drift Nights is scheduled to take place from 6pm to 11pm. Both the drag racing and the drifting can be done for a single fee of BD11. Participation in just the drag racing or just the drifting costs BD8.
Those who would like to join in on the drag or drifting as a passenger can get into a participant’s car for an additional fee of BD4.500. Registration for those wishing to join can be done on site.
The BIC drag strip is highly regarded as one of the best in the world, and it is a part of the prestigious NHRA Worldwide Network of the U.S.-based National Hot Rod Association (NHRA). BIC’s 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 to put on an amazing display of power sliding within a secure environment.
Aside from the drag racing and drifting, also available for thrill-seekers tonight is the Dragster Experience. This is BIC’s most adrenaline-pumping passenger activity, known as ‘The Fastest Ride on Earth’, and it takes one or two passengers at a time in an iconic Top Dragster, where they go from zero to 100kph in a mind-boggling one second.
The Dragster Experience is available at BD44 for the first passenger, while a second passenger can get 50 per cent off.
Spectators who wish to attend and watch the action in the Ebrahim K Kanoo Drag and Drift Nights can purchase their tickets online at BD2 apiece at BIC’s official website bahraingp.com. Tickets for children aged 12 and below are BD1 each.
Meanwhile, tomorrow night, fans are invited to stay active with Batelco Fitness on Track.
They will have the opportunity to enjoy a mid-week workout within the safe and unique venue of a world-class Formula 1 host facility.
Batelco Fitness on Track can be done either on foot or on a bicycle, and either individually or with a group of friends and family.
Tomorrow’s activity is scheduled for 6pm to 10pm under BIC’s bright floodlights and it is the final Batelco Fitness on Track of the season. Runners and walkers will be utilising the circuit’s 2.55-kilometre Inner Track, while cyclists will get to ride their bikes along the 3.543-kilometre Outer Track, with another dedicated area for children’s cycling.
The cost to take part is BD2 for cyclists and BD1 for runners. Payment must be made upon booking. Children under the age of 12 can participate for free if accompanied by a paying adult.
