Tickets to the upcoming Six Hours of Bahrain endurance spectacle are available at Bahrain City Centre and Seef Mall, the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) announced.
The event is the newest addition to BIC’s action-packed calendar of world-class motor racing events. It will be lighting up the Sakhir track on September 28 and 29 as the sixth of eight rounds in the all-new FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC).
Six Hours of Bahrain will be the first event of its kind ever to take place in the region, and it is widely expected to be a crowd-favourite with the massive field of international racing teams competing.
At Bahrain City Centre (BCC), tickets can be purchased at a special BIC stand located in front of Columbus Café on the ground floor; while at Seef Mall, they can be bought at the Batelco outlet near the West Extension on the first floor.
Each location is open from 10am to 10pm. The BIC stand at BCC will be open until tomorrow, after which tickets will be available at BCC’s Batelco outlet.
Tickets to the event cost BD20 per person for both the days of non-stop action. Loads of off-the-track entertainment will also be on hand for the whole family.
Children aged 15 and below will be able to attend for half price.
All ticket-holders will be able to roam around the circuit and watch the racing from two strategically located points, namely the Main Grandstand and the Batelco Grandstand. The Main Grandstand offers the perfect view of BIC’s main straight, the pit lane, the team garages and the winners’ podium; while the Batelco Grandstand allows fans to check out the action taking place on the inner track.
Apart from BCC and Seef Mall, tickets can also be purchased online at BIC’s official website, www.bahraingp.com
As an additional treat, all those attending the Six Hours of Bahrain will be able to enjoy an Open Paddock experience. This gives fans the chance to freely walk around the usually restricted paddock area and see everything that goes on behind the scenes.
Spectators will be able to get up close to team buildings and watch their favourite teams hard at work in their respective garages. They may also get the chance to meet and greet some of the WEC’s top drivers who will be around the paddock area throughout the day.
Furthermore, spectators can take advantage of an autograph session along the pit lane.
There will also be several roaming performers such as musicians, stilt walkers and clowns who will be interacting with the public.
