The grand finale fires up
Bahrain International Circuit – the proud Home of Motorsport in the Middle East – is gearing up for a thrilling climax to the 2024 National Race Day season, as the seventh and final round takes place on Friday, April 25.
Motorsport fans can expect fierce action across the Bahrain Drag Bikes Championship and the ever-competitive Bahrain Circuit Racing Championship, all packed into a five-hour festival of speed under the floodlights.
Gates open at 4 PM with racing running through until 9 PM. Spectators are invited to witness the adrenaline live, with entry priced at just BD 2 for adults and BD 1 for children aged 3 to 12.
Race schedule
The evening kicks off with practice for the Circuit Racing Championship at 4:00 PM, followed by qualifying at 5:10 PM. Two main races are slated for 6:30 PM and 8:00 PM, each spanning 15 laps.
Meanwhile, the Drag Bike Championship roars into action at 4:30 PM with free practice, qualifying at 5:45 PM, and a 14-lap finale set for 7:20 PM.
The event is hosted by Bahrain International Circuit in collaboration with the Bahrain Motor Federation, Circuit Racing Committee, Bahrain Motorcycle Committee, and Autocross & Drift Committee.
Spotlight on the contenders
All eyes will be on Isa Ebrahim, who dominated the sixth round last month with a clean sweep and is now gunning for championship glory in his Honda Civic. But the road to victory is lined with talent: Muath Al-Zahrawi, Hamad Khamis, Ali Baqer, and Andreas Piolo are all in contention, racing in identical Honda Civics.
Also joining the grid is a unique entry from Radio Bahrain, fielding a Honda Integra and ready to shake up the standings in the season’s final sprint.
A celebration of local motorsport
This Friday is about celebrating the community and competition that fuels Bahraini motorsport. Whether you're a seasoned gearhead or a newcomer to the paddock, National Race Day’s grand finale promises an unforgettable night at full throttle.
