Bahrain Touring Car Challenge

Overview

Building on the success of the 2000cc Challenge, which has been a cornerstone of local racing in Bahrain for 16 seasons, the new championship will allow more flexibility on cars that are permitted to enter, thereby making it easier for new participants to join the grid and will also help reduce costs for drivers wishing to participate.
