Only 10 days remain in the final countdown to the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2023, taking place 3 to 5 March at Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East”, in Sakhir.

With F1 Aramco Pre-Season Testing 2023 taking place this week, coupled with the Beyon Money F1 Village happening at Block 338, F1 excitement is sweeping across the Kingdom and it continues to build as the race weekend approaches.

The F1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2023 is set to open this year’s FIA F1 World Championship.

Three days of top-class motorsport will be complemented by plenty of entertaining attractions that include roaming acts, stage shows, carnival rides, kids’ activities, and a pair of concerts featuring A-list artists DJ Snake and Craig David.

Tickets to the region’s biggest weekend continue to sell fast and only a limited number remain available, along with a pair of hospitality options.

BIC is therefore urging fans to purchase their tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Tickets and hospitality packages can be bought online at BIC’s official website bahraingp. com or by calling the BIC Hotline on +973-17-450000.

Given the popularity of hospitality for 2023, BIC’s two new hospitality options are The Dome Lounge and The Champions Club.

There is some limited availability at the Dome Lounge—a brand-new concept, designed to be an entry-level hospitality offering, appealing to a broad range of individuals as well as businesses.

The Champions Club is designed for F1 fans that want a mix of top-level hospitality and also behind-the-scenes access and insight for the duration of the race weekend.

The Beyon Money F1 Village is bringing the F1 thrills closer to fans with daily celebrations in the heart of the Kingdom’s capital.

The Village has been organised by BIC in collaboration with Beyon Money, part of the Beyon Group, together with support partner The Oil and Gas Holding Company B.S.C. (closed) (nogaholding).

The two-week festival is taking place for the second successive year following a hugely popular debut in 2022.

It is open daily until 2 March, from 6pm to 11pm on weekdays and midday to 11pm on weekends.

All are welcome to attend, and entrance is completely free of charge.

There is plenty on offer for the whole family at the site, including F1-related activities such as racing simulators, the chance to design your very own F1 car livery with a digital paint machine, a driver selfie experience, and the F1 show car and World Championship Trophy.

There is also daily live music by DJs and popular bands, along with a craft village, BIC merchandise and ticketing stand, a Beyon Money stand activation, roaming family entertainment, street artists, magicians, and much more.

Meanwhile, Aston Martin F1 Team announced yesterday that Canadian Lance Stroll will miss pre-season testing in Bahrain.

The team said that while training on a bicycle in Spain, Stroll was involved in a minor accident and sustained injuries which will result in him sitting out the pre-season test at BIC.

Stroll is however expecting a quick recovery and return to driving duties. His fitness to return to the cockpit will be assessed daily and the team will issue an update ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Stroll said: “I’ve had an unfortunate accident whilst training on my bike in preparation for the season. I am determined to get back in the car and I am excited about the season ahead with the team. I am motivated to bounce back from this setback as quickly as possible.”
