Open Track night: BIC set for extreme action

As the summer heat reaches extreme levels, so do the action and intensity at Bahrain International Circuit (BIC).

This Friday, “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East” hosts a fantastic double-header with an Open Track Night for cars and motorbikes as well as an exciting evening of Burnout.

The activity is scheduled to be held from 8 pm to 1 am along BIC’s brilliantly floodlit 2.55-kilometre Inner Track. Open Track Night is one of the most popular activities for race fans being offered at BIC.

It is a non-competitive event that allows drivers to come and explore their own car’s or bike’s performance in a safe, controlled and professional environment. Driver etiquette is of ultimate importance so there is no close or aggressive overtaking.

Overtaking is by invitation between corners and driving is monitored, with poor or dangerous driving dealt with swiftly. The event attracts sports cars and bikes that rarely ever see hitting the streets. Many of these top-of-the-line automobiles will be coming from all over the Gulf, including from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and the UAE.
