Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), ‘The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East’, hosts its first fan experience of the 2024/2025 season tomorrow with one of its most popular on-track activities Offering a drive like no other, Open Track Night will give speed lovers the incredible opportunity to bring their very own cars or motorbikes and push them to their limits within the circuit’s safe and secure environment.

Friday’s event is scheduled for 4pm to 11pm, giving participants the chance to tackle BIC’s 5.412-kilometre Grand Prix track in unique settings – as the sun goes down and in nighttime conditions under the circuit’s brilliant state-of-the-art floodlights.

It will also be an occasion to drive the same layout that will be used for when the Spirit of Le Mans returns to the Kingdom in the 2024 WEC 8 Hours of Bahrain, powered by Bapco Energies on 1 and 2 November.

Open Track is one of the most sought-after experiences at BIC, with racing enthusiasts being able to satisfy their need for an adrenaline-pumping thrill.

Driver etiquette is of ultimate importance in every Open Track activity, so there is no close or aggressive overtaking permitted.

Overtaking is by invitation between corners and driving is monitored, with poor or dangerous driving being dealt with swiftly. Those interested in taking part can book in advance at a reduced rate.

The cost for the full night is BD99, while the half-night is BD71.5, and a single session is BD33. If booking on the day, the cost is BD115.5 for the full night, BD82.5 for half the night, and BD44 for a single session.

Instructor sessions are available, while additional drivers and passengers can also participate, all for an additional fee. BIC is also offering options for an Open Track Pack, which gives access to Open Track events throughout the whole season.

The Gold Membership, priced at BD935, offers participation in all Open Track events for 2024/2025. Silver Membership, costing BD495, gets access to six full or 10 half Open Track activities in the season, while Bronze Membership, priced at BD385, gets access to four full or six half Open Track participations.

Each option also offers additional benefits available only to Open Track Pack subscribers.
