*** Get ready for a fun-filled, high-adrenaline weekend! | THE DAILY TRIBUNE | KINGDOM OF BAHRAIN

Get ready for a fun-filled, high-adrenaline weekend!

Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East”, has put together a fantastic line-up of theatrical shows and fun activities for the whole family to enjoy during the FIA WEC Six Hours of Bahrain.

The highly-anticipated endurance racing weekend takes place on November 20 and 21 in Sakhir for which heavy public attendance is expected. It will be the eighth and final round of the 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), thus turning into an extra special occasion.

The BIC is the WEC’s exclusive annual stop in the Middle East. It is one among the few day-to-night races on the WEC calendar, making for a visual spectacle for race enthusiasts that include a stunning sunset and a brilliantly floodlit track at night.

To add to the Six Hours of Bahrain, a first-class support programme ensures whole two days of non-stop high- adrenaline action. Also racing at the BIC that weekend will be the GP2 Series, GP3 Series, Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East and the MRF Challenge.

But aside from the on-track activities, fans will also have plenty to look forward to at the BIC vending area. As part of the off-track entertainment, there will be a pair of street theatre acts and an interactive area for guests who wish to get close to the ultimate racing experience.

The street theatre shows feature Men in Coats and Trash Test Dummies.

The Men in Coats are masters of nonverbal  entertainment. They have performed at major festivals worldwide such as at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the Melbourne Comedy Festival and recently at the Comedy Arts Festival in Moers, Germany. The Men in Coats 

received the Hackney Empire New Act Award in London and were invited to the Royal Variety Show at the BBC.

Joining them are The Trash Test Dummies, a group of artists passionate about creating innovative circus and physical theatre works that demonstrate the highest jaw-dropping circus skills. They look to take audiences on a journey into their playful imagination, where they explore the infinite uses of everyday objects in the most profound and hilarious ways.

Meanwhile, the interactive area at BIC will include a reverse bungee ride and a section where fans can enjoy driving in state-of-the-art GT simulators.

For those looking for an extreme activity, the reverse bungee soars into the sky with a thrilling surge of pure adrenaline. The Reverse Bungee is a truly breath- taking experience in which brave riders are catapulted high up into the air at totally ludicrous speeds, spinning and bouncing as they go.

Furthermore, eight GT simulators with the BIC track will be giving the fans a chance to compete with others to be the first to get to the finish line.

Tickets to the FIA WEC Six Hours of Bahrain can be purchased at the special BIC stand in Bahrain City Centre, online at www.bahraingp. com, or by telephone by calling the BIC Hotline on +973-17-450000.
