BIC all set for top fan experiences

Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) continues the festive mood by offering twice the thrills today with two of the most exhilarating experiences on offer at “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East.” BIC will be holding the Ultimate Track Experience and Open Track Night back to back, making for a whole day of unparalleled action.

From 8am to 4pm, fans will be able to choose from a series of drives and passenger rides that are all under the umbrella of the Ultimate Track Experience. Then, from 4pm to 11pm, speed enthusiasts will have an opportunity to drive their very own cars or ride their motorbikes under the lights in Open Track Night.

The Ultimate Track Experience includes drives in a Clio Cup car and in a Radical SR1 prototype, as well as a passenger ride in both the Clio Cup car and an ultra-quick Radical SR3. The Clio Cup car is a Renault-manufactured racing machine that features a 1.6-litre Turbocharged engine that can generate up to 220bhp and 6,000rpm. The drive can be purchased for BD115.5 while the passenger ride is BD26.5. The Radical SR1 prototype features a 1,340cc engine which can generate 185bhp.

It launches from zero to 100kph in 3.6 seconds. This drive costs BD126, and completing the drive in the Clio Cup car is a prerequisite to taking part in the SR1 experience. The Radical SR3 passenger ride will be conducted alongside one of BIC’s highly qualified driving instructors. It costs BD37.

Meanwhile, Open Track Night is expected to attract many participants who are itching for a taste of a world-class racing facility in their very own vehicles. The cost to take part is BD94.5 for the whole night and BD68.5 for a half of the evening. There is also an option at BD31.5 for each single session. Also available during Open Track Night are the Jaguar Experience and passenger rides in the Clio Cup and SR3.

The Jaguar Experience has been designed to ensure that all guests are given a dynamic, hands-on and memorable experience on the track in a Jaguar F-Type. Powerful, agile, and utterly distinctive, the F-Type is a true sports car and the opportunity to drive it must be fully taken advantage of. The cost for the Jaguar Experience is BD63. The Clio Cup car passenger ride remains BD26.5, while the Radical SR3 passenger ride is BD37.
