Three straight days of thrills at BIC

ManamaAn action-packed programme over three days awaits speed enthusiasts from Thursday to Saturday in Sakhir with back-to-back editions of Open Track Night on the first two days followed up on Saturday with an Ultimate Track Experience.

The Open Track on Thursday will be held along the 2.55-kilometre Inner Track, while on Friday on the 5.412-kilometre Grand Prix circuit.

Participants will be able to enjoy the unique spectacle of driving their cars or riding their bikes under BIC’s state-of-the-art floodlighting system with action from 4pm to 11pm on both nights.

Those taking part will be able to choose between driving for a whole night at BD105 or just for a half-night at BD75. A single 30-minute session can also be enjoyed for BD40.

Registration can be done at BIC itself on both days, however, those who book in advance can get a discount.

Friends or family members who would like to accompany a participant as a passenger in their car may do so at an extra fee of BD12.

Meanwhile, on Saturday the Ultimate Track Experience are the Clio Cup Drive, SR1 Drive and SR3 Passenger Ride. All activities will take place on BIC’s Inner Track.

The Clio Cup drive will give clients an exciting look into the racing capabilities of one of the world’s most popular sports cars. The Renault-manufactured Clio Cup features a 1.6-litre Turbocharged engine. It can generate up to 220bhp and 6,000rpm, and it has a paddle shift racing gearbox and an FIA-specification roll cage and seats.
