Get ready for the ultimate track experience in Sakhir

Manama  : Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) will be hosting on October 6 the first Ultimate Track Experience of the new national racing season, giving motorsport fans the opportunity to enjoy three of the most exhilarating activities in Sakhir.

Action will be held from 8am to 3pm and on offer are a drive in a Clio Cup sports car, a drive in a Radical SR1 prototype, and a passenger ride in an ultra-quick Radical SR3 prototype.

The Clio Cup drive is sure to give motorsport fans an exciting look into the racing capabilities of one of the world’s most popular sports cars. This Renault-manufactured mean machine features a 1.6-litre Turbocharged engine and can generate up to 220bhp and 6,000rpm, and it has a paddle shift racing gearbox and an FIA-specification roll cage and seats. 

The Clio Cup drive is available for BD120 and includes a pair of six-lap sessions and the entire experience lasts roughly two-and-a-half hours.

Meanwhile, the Radical SR1 drive promises the ultimate adrenaline rush. The SR1 features an RPE-Suzuki 1,340cc engine which can generate 185bhp. It has a six-speed sequential transverse gearbox and goes a maximum speed of 138mph as it launches from zero to 100kph in 3.6 seconds. The SR1 experience includes two five-lap sessions that could last up to around two-and-a-half hours and available at BD140. Completing the Clio Cup drive is required before taking part in the SR1 experience.

The Radical SR3 passenger ride will be conducted alongside one of BIC’s expert driving instructors. A Radical SR3 boasts an RPE-Suzuki Generation 1,340 DOHC engine. It can go from zero to 100kph in 3.4 seconds, and also has a six-speed sequential gearbox and paddle gearshift system. 

The SR3 passenger ride is available at BD35 for a three-lap session of around 40 minutes.
