Motorsport fans are urged to act fast and purchase their Main Grandstand tickets at the soonest as only a few days remain to enter Bahrain International Circuit’s (BIC) exciting raffle for a chance to win two three-day Formula 1 Paddock Club passes to the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2020. This is the first time this prestigious prize worth almost $10,000 is being offered for the Kingdom’s Formula 1 spectacle. Fans must buy a Main Grandstand ticket on or before Saturday, March 7, to be entered into the draw.

Those who have already secured their Main Grandstand seat have been entered automatically. The two Formula 1 Paddock Club passes will give the winners access to one of the most exclusive locations from where to enjoy this year’s race weekend, which takes place March 19 to 22 at BIC. There, they will be able to watch all the racing in a luxurious, first-class setting and indulge in a wide variety of premium food and beverages throughout the whole three days of F1. Plus, they will have a chance to rub shoulders with a whole host of VIPs, and without a doubt will get to see Formula 1 star drivers from past and present. Only Main Grandstand ticket-holders will be entered in the raffle. Winners will be announced within the week following March 7.

A four-day Main Grandstand seat costs BD150. The Main Grandstand offers a spectacular view of the race track, including the Grand Prix circuit’s start and finish lines, its main straight, the Formula 1 Pit Lane and the podium. Tickets can be bought online at BIC’s official website www. bahraingp.com, through the BIC Hotline on +973-17450000, or at BIC’s City Centre Bahrain stand located on the ground floor near gate number three in the West Court. Aside from the Main Grandstand, tickets can also be purchased for four other grandstands, but they will not be entered into the raffle. A Batelco Grandstand ticket for all four days is BD120, while there are also Batelco Grandstand tickets for only Saturday and Sunday priced at BD100 apiece; and also Friday-only tickets at BD60 each. Furthermore, a four-day ticket to the Turn One Grandstand costs BD100; whereas University and Victory Grandstand fourday tickets are BD60 apiece.

This year’s Bahrain Grand Prix is the second of a record 22 rounds on the 2020 FIA Formula 1 World Championship. It will be the first night race of the season and BIC will be joining Formula 1 and national carrier Gulf Air in commemorating their respective 70th anniversaries. Aside from the racing, there will be non-stop family entertainment throughout the weekend. Headlining it all will be the series of fantastic live performances by Grammy Award-winning producer, songwriter and DJ Afrojack, who will be taking to the stage on the Friday night of the Grand Prix; along with global superstar Khalid and Top 10 DJ and producer Don Diablo who will put on back-to-back shows on an epic Saturday night.
