Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), is all set to host the first Ebrahim K Kanoo Drag and Drift Nights of the new season tonight.

This widely popular and exciting experience offers speed enthusiasts twice the thrills with two of the most popular forms of motorsport today.

Participants will have the opportunity to bring their very own cars or motorbikes and push them to their limits either down BIC’s world-class, quarter-mile drag strip, or at the circuit’s vast vehicle dynamics area.

There is also the option to do both the drag racing and drifting, making for a fantastic double-header over a single night’s activity at the Kingdom’s globally renowned Sakhir motorsport facility. Monday’s Ebrahim K Kanoo Drag and Drift Nights is scheduled to take place from 6pm to 11pm.

The BIC drag strip is highly regarded as one of the best in the world, and it is a part of the prestigious NHRA Worldwide Network of the U.S.-based National Hot Rod Association (NHRA). The BIC’s vehicle dynamics area features a specially configured layout for drifters.

It is surrounded by safety barriers and is one of the largest open tarmac areas in Bahrain, making for an ideal venue to put on an amazing display of power sliding within a secure environment.

Both the drag racing and the drifting can be done for a single fee of BD11. Participation in just the drag racing or just the drifting costs BD8. Those who would like to experience the drag or drift as a passenger can get into a participant’s car for an additional fee of BD4.500. Registration for those wishing to join can be done on site.

Aside from the drag racing and drifting, also available for thrill-seekers Monday night is the Dragster Experience.
