Back-to-back days of exhilarating experiences at BIC this weekend

Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) is set to host a packed weekend of on-track action and mesmerising thrills. On Friday, motorsport enthusiasts can enjoy a series of unique activities in the Ultimate Track Experience while on Saturday, the public can attend an Open Track Day. Both offerings are amongst the most popular for race fans at BIC.

This weekend, they will each be taking place along the Sakhir circuit’s 2.55-kilometre Inner Track. Friday’s Ultimate Track Experience will be held from 8am to 1pm. It is set to include drives in a Clio Cup sports car and in a Radical SR1 prototype, as well as passenger rides in the Clio Cup and an ultra-quick Radical SR3. The Radical SR1 prototype features a 1,340cc engine which can generate 185bhp. It launches from zero to 100kph in 3.6 seconds.

This drive costs BD126, and completing the Clio Cup drive is a prerequisite to taking part in the SR1 experience. Then, on Saturday, Open Track Day will be held from 9am to 4pm. It is expected to draw in scores of participants and their sports cars and motorbikes, some of which are rarely ever seen hitting the streets. Many of these top-ofthe-line automobiles will be coming from all over the Gulf, including from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, the UAE and Bahrain.
