BIC to host E K Kanoo Drag and Drift Night

Manama : Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) has set the stage for another exciting year-round campaign of activities, scheduled to take place on Monday in Sakhir.

Sponsored by Ebrahim K Kanoo and powered by Motor City, Drag and Drift Night calls on drag racing and drifting enthusiasts alike to take their cars or motorbikes and push them to their limit in a safe and controlled environment.

BIC’s world-class quarter-mile drag strip, which is a member of the prestigious National Hot Rod Association (NHRA), will play host to Monday’s drag racing. For the drifting, a special course along car park will stage all the action. 

Safety standards of the highest level are followed at all times during the evening’s events for both drivers and spectators alike.

Both activities can be enjoyed for a single fee of BD10. Participation in just costs BD7. Registration can be done on site from 5pm, and the action will be held from 6pm to 11pm.

Those who would like to experience the drag or drift as a passenger can get into a friend’s car for an additional BD4 for each event. Spectators can purchase tickets for BD2 apiece.

Also as part of the drag racing programme, BIC will also be offering the Dragster Xperience to all those in attendance.

This is one of the circuit’s most unique activities, as it gives participants a taste of pure speed as they are taken from zero to 100kph in just one second while seated in a Top Dragster. The Dragster Xperience costs BD40 per person.
