Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East”, announced yesterday that it has completely sold out its Formula 1 Paddock Club for the highly anticipated F1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2024.

Only 30 days remain from today until the weekend’s events in the racing and entertainment extravaganza, which is scheduled to take place 29 February to 2 March in Sakhir.

It will be celebrating “20 Years of a Modern Classic”—showcasing the Kingdom of Bahrain’s landmark 20th anniversary in F1.

With the demand from fans for the very best in hospitality growing year by year, BIC has sold out its F1 Paddock Club for the third straight grand prix and it follows the circuit’s announcement earlier this month that it has also already sold out its Corporate Lounges.

BIC also confirmed that Champions Club and The Dome by F1 Experiences hospitality experiences still have some availability, with full details of the packages available at bahraingp.com.

On grandstand ticket availability, there are extremely limited seats available in the Main, Turn 1 and Beyon Grandstands, with some availability in the University and Victory grandstands.

First Saturday night race

The F1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2024 will feature the Kingdom’s first-ever Saturday night race and it is the sixth time BIC is hosting the first round of the new F1 season.

Also taking place will be the season-openers of the FIA Formula 2 Championship and the FIA Formula 3 Championship, as well as the fifth and penultimate round of the 2023/2024 Porsche Carrera Cup Middle East.

As every year, BIC has lined plenty of attractions in its offtrack entertainment programme for the whole family to enjoy at the F1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2024.

Last week, BIC announced that global superstar DJ and producer Diplo will play the post-race concert on the Saturday night.

Other entertainment will include Circus Extreme, roaming performers, stage shows, carnival rides and so much more available on all three days in the circuit’s vending area.

Meanwhile, prior to race week, BIC is also set to host three days of F1 Aramco Pre-Season Testing 2024 from February 21 to 23.

F1 fans who have purchased their tickets to the grand prix before 1 February will get free access to the two open days of tests on 22 and 23 February.

The tests will offer fans a sneak preview of what’s to come in the new campaign, and it will be the F1 teams’ only chance to get crucial information on their cars’ performance on track ahead of the first race of the championship in Bahrain.
