DON’T miss the first Open Track Night of the new national motor racing season on Friday from 4pm until 11pm under the Bahrain International Circuit’s state-of-the-art track lighting system.
People can bring their own cars or motorbikes and experience the world-famous 5.412km Grand Prix track in Sakhir.
Participants will be able to choose between driving for a whole night at BD105 or just for a half-night at BD75. The half-night sessions are between 4pm and 7pm or between 8pm and 11pm. A single 30-minute session can also be enjoyed for BD40.
Friends or family members who would like to accompany a participant as a passenger in their car may do so at an extra fee of BD12.
Also available during Open Track Night are the Clio Cup passenger ride and SR3 passenger ride, as featured exclusively on the Motor Sport page.
The Clio Cup passenger ride 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. It 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 passenger ride comprises a single three-lap session of around 40 minutes, and it can be enjoyed for BD25.
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 100kmh in 3.4 seconds, and also has a six-speed sequential gearbox and paddle gearshift system.
The SR3 passenger ride costs BD35 for a three-lap session of around 40 minutes.
