A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed between Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) and Wheels of Arabia (WOA) to establish a Ducati Experience Centre in Sakhir.
The Ducati Experience Centre at BIC aims to give motorsport fans a venue where they can taste ‘the very best of motor biking in a world-class setting’.
The facility will also aid in the training of riders and focus on the development of a capable younger generation that can participate in a safe environment.
The agreement was signed between BIC Chief Executive Shaikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa and WOA director Abdulrahman Almoayed. Present at the ceremony were BIC commercial director Sherif Al Mahdy, BIC sales and sponsorship senior manager Bader Nasser and Bahraini champion rider Hussain Al Kooheji.
The Ducati Experience Centre at BIC is scheduled to hold track days from September to March. The track days will cater to professional racers as well as amateur bikers who want to taste the thrill of riding Ducati bikes on the world-class BIC track.
Ducati chose the circuit to host its experience centre after a series of successful events organised by WOA over the last year. This will be the first motorcycle experience centre hosted by the ‘home of motorsport in the Middle East’.
