The Bahrain International Circuit is offering a special event every evening during Ramadan. Each evening, all Bahraini residents will be welcomed free of charge to a fatoor with a difference.

The entertainments available include a traditional Arabic market, food stalls and shisha. There are opportunities to relax and take part in racing radio control cars on the new ‘mini-BIC’ circuit with both road racers and off-road models to choose from.
The highlight of the evening will however be Bahrain Drift, an opportunity for drivers to put their skills to the test on a dedicated drift track behind the iconic Main Grandstand. For just BD2 per car, a maximum of 15 cars each evening can be put through their paces on the Bahrain Drift course — or for BD40 drivers are guaranteed a run every night.
Training for the drift drivers will be available in the BIC’s skid control car, which sees a powerful V8 mounted in a cradle to safely simulate the loss of traction.
