Get ready to burn some rubber!

ManamaBahrain International Circuit (BIC) is set to stage another exciting edition of the E K Kanoo Drag and Drift Night  tonight in Sakhir.

All drag racing and drifting enthusiasts can take their own cars or motorbikes and push them to their limit in a safe and controlled environment.

BIC’s world-class quarter-mile drag strip, which is a member of the prestigious National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Worldwide Network, will play host to the drag racing. For the drifting, a special course along BIC’s car park will stage all the action.

Safety standards of the highest level are followed at all times during the evening’s events for both drivers and spectators alike.

Both of Monday’s activities can be enjoyed for a single fee of BD10.

Participation in just the drag racing or just the drifting costs BD7.

Registration can be done on site from 5pm, and the action will be held from 6pm to 11pm.

Those who would like to experience the drag or drift as a passenger can get into a friend’s car for an additional BD4 for each event.

Spectators can purchase tickets for BD2 apiece.

Also as part of the drag racing programme, BIC will also be offering the immensely popular Dragster Xperience to all those in attendance.

This is one of the circuit’s most unique and ultimate-adrenaline activities, as it gives participants a taste of pure speed as they are taken from zero to 100kph in just one second while seated in a Top Dragster. 

The Dragster Xperience currently costs BD25 per person.
