A marvellous motor sport event started in 2005 as a weekend getaway for a group of friends passionate about automobile racing continues to grow in popularity.
More than 60 cars and hundreds of motorsport fans from the region flocked to Bahrain International circuit last weekend to attend the 14th annual GulfRun.
The two-day event, held over Thursday and Friday, witnessed plenty of on-track activities as supercars roared around the famous Formula One circuit in four different track configurations, including the Inner, Outer, Endurance and Grand Prix circuits.
There was also racing along the quarter-mile drag strip, part of the US-based National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Worldwide Network.
“The goal is to promote racing and training in a professional environment, while educating drivers on proper racing techniques,” one of the organisers explained. “There were track-certified marshals monitoring the event at all times to ensure that it was safe and secure, and it continues to be a great social event too!”
This year’s GulfRun showcased several top-of-the-line sports cars from major marques and competitors were placed in their respective class according to each car’s capability, power, weight and tyre type.
