Ebrahim K Kanoo Drag and Drift Nights gives motor racing enthusiasts the opportunity to take their very own cars or motorbikes and push them to their limits down the strip, or put on an amazing display of power sliding along BIC’s vast vehicle dynamics area. There is also the option for participants to enjoy both, making for twice to adrenaline rush in a single action-packed event.

BIC’s quarter-mile strip is highly regarded as one of the best in the world of drag racing. It is a part of the prestigious Worldwide Network, under the banner of the U.S.-based National Hot Rod Association (NHRA). The vehicle dynamics area, meanwhile, features a specially configured layout for drifters. It is surrounded by safety barriers, and it is one of the largest open tarmac areas in Bahrain, making for an ideal venue for drifting enthusiasts to showcase their skills within a secure environment.

In addition to the drag racing and drifting, also available Monday night is the Dragster Experience—BIC’s most adrenaline-pumping passenger activity also known as “the Fastest Ride on Earth!”
