BIC set for sensational Saturday
Manama, The Gulf Observer: Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East”, has lined up a sensational Saturday (for speed enthusiasts with a pair of high-octane activities that will bring loads of excitement to Sakhir.
Set to take place simultaneously are the Ramadan Burnout Nights and Open Track Nights.
Ramadan Burnout Nights will see participants put on a fantastic show of rising white smoke at BIC’s Vehicle Dynamics Area.
This Saturday’s event is the first of four during the holy month, to be followed by three more rounds on April 1, 8 and 15.
As part of the lead-up to the series, a testing night was held last week, which attracted large crowds of fans to BIC.
An even bigger turnout of spectators is expected over the coming weeks, as Ramadan Burnout Nights attract huge crowds each year.
BIC is ready to welcome the fans with a capacity of nearly 3,000 seats in the Spectator Grandstand, Crew Grandstand and VIP Grandstand overlooking the Vehicle Dynamics Area. All are invited to attend and watch the exciting action.
BIC will also be opening its doors to the public on Saturday to bring their very own road cars or motorbikes for the Open Track Nights.
They can take their vehicles out on BIC’s ultra-challenging 2.55-kilometre Inner Track and explore their car’s or motorbike’s limits within a safe and controlled environment.
The night event will take place between 9pm and midnight, allowing those taking part to enjoy the brilliance of BIC’s bright, state-of-the-art floodlights while out on the circuit.
Driver etiquette is of ultimate importance in every Open Track activity, so there is no close or aggressive overtaking permitted. Overtaking is by invitation between corners and driving is monitored, with poor or dangerous driving being dealt with swiftly by officials.
