Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East”, announced that tickets are still available for Formula 1 Aramco Pre-Season Testing 2024, scheduled to take place 21 to 23 February in Sakhir.

With adult ticket prices at BD5 and half price for children, it offers an incredible opportunity to witness F1 cars at a low price.

Free entry to pre-season testing is available to all fans who purchased their tickets to the F1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2024 before 1 February.

BIC will be opening its gates to F1 fans on the tests’ final two days on 22 and 23 February.

All those coming to BIC on testing’s two open days will be able to watch the F1 teams and drivers in action from the Main Grandstand, which overlooks the F1 pit lane and team garages, as well as the circuit’s main straight.

BIC is hosting F1 pre-season testing for the fourth year in a row and for the fifth time overall. Bahrain also staged in-season F1 testing in 2017 and 2019.

The upcoming tests will offer fans a sneak preview of what’s to come in the new campaign, and it will be the F1 teams’ only chance to get crucial information on their cars’ performance on track ahead of the first race of the season.

F1 Aramco Pre-Season Testing will be followed only a few days later by the Kingdom’s grand prix weekend from 29 February to 2 March, kicking off the 2024 FIA F1 World Championship.

The racing and entertainment extravaganza will be celebrating “20 Years of a Modern Classic”, showcasing the Kingdom of Bahrain’s 20th anniversary in F1.

It will also be the first-ever Saturday night race in Sakhir, making for an additional spectacle.

Those who are eager to attend the F1 weekend but have yet to purchase their tickets or hospitality packages must do so at the earliest to avoid missing out on the extra-special occasion.

Tickets are available on bahraingp.com, by calling the BIC Hotline on +973-17450000, or at the BIC stands at City Centre Bahrain and the Beyon Money BIC Fan Village.

Fans must act quickly as BIC has already completely sold out its Main, Beyon, and Turn 1 Grandstands for race weekend, as well as its Corporate Lounges and F1 Paddock Club.

There is now only very limited availability on tickets to the University and Victory grandstands, with BIC’s two other hospitality options, The Dome by F1 Experiences and The Champions Club, having some availability
