The 2022/2023 Bahrain Drag Racing Championship is set for an epic climax this weekend as Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) hosts the season’s fifth and final round from yesterday to Friday in Sakhir.

Intense title battles have been brewing across the series’ 13 categories and they will all be settled at this upcoming meeting at “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East”.

BIC’s quarter-mile drag strip, a member of the prestigious Worldwide Network of the USbased National Hot Rod Association (NHRA), will host all the heated head-to-head action.

Two nights of Test and Tune kick off the round on Tuesday and Wednesday night. Qualifying will then be held on Thursday, to be followed by Race Day on Friday.

They will be going at it one last time this season for pride, bragging rights and for the prestigious “Wally” trophies—one of the sport’s highest honours that are awarded exclusively to champions of NHRA-sanctioned events across the globe.

All are welcome to attend this week’s racing and enjoy the region’s biggest and best drag racing championship.

Tickets are available at the gate or online at bahraingp.com.
