BIC to host Drag and Drift Night

Manama : Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) is set to host on Monday this racing season’s final edition of the E K Kanoo Drag and Drift Night.

Sponsored by E K Kanoo, Drag and Drift Night gives the chance for drag racing and drifting enthusiasts to take their own cars or motorbikes and push them to their limit in a safe and controlled environment.

BIC is calling on all speed enthusiasts to take advantage of this one last occasion before the long summer break.

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 Monday’s drag racing activities. For the drifting, a special course along BIC’s car park five will stage all the action.

Both 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 6pm, and the action will be held from 7pm to 12midnight.

Those who would like to experience the drag or drift as a passenger can get into a friend’s car for an additional BD4. Spectators can purchase tickets for BD2 apiece.

Also as part of the drag racing programme, BIC is offering the immensely popular Dragster Xperience. 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 costs BD40 per person.

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