Fans attending this weekend’s Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2022 will have plenty to enjoy off the track at Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) in Sakhir. In signature BIC fashion, “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East” has lined up a host of engaging attractions catered to the whole family, available all throughout the race weekend this Friday to Sunday, 18 to 20 March.

These include adrenaline-fuelled rides, vibrant stage and roaming performances, fun activities for both kids and adults, plus a wide array of food and beverage offerings to complement the excitement of being present at the first race of the 2022 F1 season.

This year’s Bahrain Grand Prix is set to be a once-in-a-generation event, following the introduction of sweeping new regulations and the huge design evolution of the F1 cars.

Fans in the Kingdom have the privilege of being the first in the world to experience the pinnacle of motorsport like it was never before seen.
