Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) is bringing plenty of motorsport excitement to the fans tomorrow with another hosting of the widely popular Track Experiences. With plenty going on off the tarmac throughout the weekend at “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East”, motor racing enthusiasts will have the chance to satisfy their need for speed with this fan-favourite offering that features both the BNI Clio Cup Experience as well as the Radical SR3 and SR1 Experiences.

Saturday’s events are scheduled to take place from 8am to 3pm, and all participants will be able to take on BIC’s 2.55-kilometre Inner Circuit—the same layout used in BIC’s leading national circuit racing championships.

The BNI Clio Cup Experience includes both a drive and a passenger ride in a Renault Clio Cup car, fitted with a 220bhp engine, a sequential gearbox, and high-performance brakes. The activity gives participants their first ride into the world of motorsport in a high-octane, turbo-boosted sports car and it will surely get the heart racing.

Every inch the ultimate race car, time behind the wheel of a Clio Cup is the perfect opportunity to get introduced to the world of high-speed motorsports, providing thrills to match. Those who take part in this activity will be given a user-friendly and simple briefing followed by the driving experience on the track with a professional in a lead-follow manner, while the passenger ride is the ultimate co-pilot experience.

The drive in the BNI Clio Cup Experience can be purchased for BD121, while the passenger ride costs BD27.500 per person. Meanwhile, a Radical SR1 drive can be enjoyed in an SR1 car that boasts an engine that can generate 185bhp. It launches from zero to 100kph in 3.6 seconds and has a top speed of 222kph.

This drive costs BD132, and completing the BNI Clio Cup drive is a prerequisite to taking part in the SR1 experience. In addition to this, a passenger experience in a Radical SR3 car is also on offer at a cost of BD38.500. All those interested in taking part are advised to book their seats as soon as possible as slots are filled quickly.
