Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) rings in the new year with the first Open Track Day of 2025 scheduled for this Saturday in Sakhir. This fan-favourite experience at ‘The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East’ offers the chance to enjoy the thrill of powering down a world-class Formula 1 host venue.

Saturday’s Open Track Day will be held from 11am to 6pm along BIC’s 2.55-kilometre Inner Circuit – the same used in the Kingdom’s leading circuit racing championships. Participants will get to take in a memorable drive in the seat of their very own private vehicles, which they can push to their limits within a safe and controlled environment.

Driver etiquette is of ultimate importance during Open Track Days. 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. Those interested in taking part can book their slot in advance to get a reduced rate. The cost for the full day is BD82.500, while the half day is BD55.

A single session is also available for BD22. If booking on the day itself, the cost for the full day is BD93.500, BD66 for half the day, and BD27.500 for a single session. Instructor sessions are also available, while additional drivers and passengers can participate, all for an additional fee.
