Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East”, is all set to host an exciting weekend of activities for fans with all kinds of interests.

First up tomorrow will be an extra-special edition of Batelco Fitness on Track, during which Breast Cancer Awareness Month will be celebrated.

Then, on Saturday, the fun in Sakhir will move into the fast lane with the latest running of BIC’s widely popular Track Experiences.

Both events are part of the circuit’s packed calendar of events for the 2023/2024 season and all those interested are invited to take part.

In Friday’s Batelco Fitness on Track, a fun physical activity awaits the whole family.

Those participating will have the chance to exercise either on foot or on a bicycle within BIC’s safe and controlled environment.

This weekend’s activity will be extra meaningful as initiatives marking Breast Cancer Awareness Month will be held during the event.

Among these is a Think Pink motorcycle parade, which will take place before runners and cyclists hit the track.

Friday’s Batelco Fitness on Track is scheduled from 9am to 1pm, ensuring an enjoyable time under the sun for all.

Meanwhile, Saturday ’s Track Experiences offers a series of exciting drives and passenger rides in three ultra-quick cars, including the Renault Clio Cup and the Radical SR1 and SR3.

Fans can get an awesome introduction to the high-octane world of motorsports in the Clio Cup Experiences.

Participants can step into a 1.6 litre, Turbocharged Renault Clio Cup sportscar either for a drive or a passenger ride.

Supreme thrills can also be enjoyed in the Radical SR1 Driving Experience, which is ideal for amateurs and racers alike as the car’s 185bhp engine roars like no other.

Interested participants are required to complete a Clio Cup Drive in order to take part in this activity.

In the Radical SR3 Passenger Experience, fans will be taken from zero to 100kph in about 3.4 seconds, making for a memorable number of laps around the circuit.
