Double the thrills twice this week

Manama : Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) will be hosting a pair of Open Track events for cars and motorbikes this week, with the first on Thursday and followed by an Open Track Day on Saturday.

Loads of thrills and excitement await motorsport enthusiasts on both occasions as Open Track is one of the most popular public activities available at the BIC track in Sakhir with scores of speed lovers from Bahrain and all over the Gulf turning up each time for the event.

Thursday’s action will be held under BIC’s state-of-the-art floodlighting system along the 2.55-kilometre Inner Track from 4pm to 12midnigh and on Saturday at BIC’s 5.412-kilometre Grand Prix Track from 9am to 5pm.

Open Track Night participants can choose between driving for a whole night at BD105 or just for a half-night at BD75. A single 30-minute session can also be enjoyed for BD40.

For Open Track Day on Saturday, a full day will cost BD85, a half-day at BD60 and a single session at BD25.

Meanwhile, Clio Cup and Radical SR3 passenger rides will also be available on both occasions.

Both Open Track events will be run to the highest of international safety standards, although participants will still be able to push their vehicles to their very limit.
