There’s only one week to go before the Spirit of Le Mans comes alive in the Kingdom at this year’s Bapco Energies 8 Hours of Bahrain, the final round of the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship.

The endurance racing spectacle takes Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) by storm on 3 and 4 November, with plenty in store both on the race track and off of it.

Fans attending the weekend’s events at “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East” will be able to enjoy unparalleled access to the heart of the WEC with an Open Paddock Experience.

The Open Paddock is unique to the WEC extravaganza, and it is a fan-friendly initiative that can be enjoyed by all.

Aside from getting to watch the high-octane action from BIC’s grandstands, race-goers will have the chance to go and see what goes on behind the scenes in the WEC Paddock.

This is where the participating squads’ team buildings are located to accommodate the series’ star drivers and team members while at the circuit.

The Paddock is also from where the teams have access to their garages, so fans will more than likely bump into the WEC’s biggest talents as they make their way around the facility and also witness team preparations for the racing action.
