“The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East” will be welcoming fans on Friday and Saturday (Editor’s note: November 5 and 6) for this year’s season-ending event in the 2021 FIA World Endurance Championship, which is the second race of the series’ first-ever double-header.
Gates on Friday are scheduled to open at 10am and close at 8pm, while on Saturday fans can enjoy everything on offer from 11am to 11pm.
Tickets for both days cost just BD5 for adults and BD2.5 for children aged three to 12 years old. Kids under three are free, whilst there are also further discounts available for students, those with special needs and senior citizens.
Tickets can be purchased online at bahraingp.com or at the gate. They have been priced in a most affordable way in order to give fans a chance to experience a World Championship motorsport event.
Spectator entry policy for the race will be in line with the Kingdom of Bahrain’s prevailing COVID-19 traffic light system. Under the current green conditions, entry is permitted to all.
Aside from WEC, there will also be racing in the BIC-based Porsche Sprint Challenge Middle East—the region’s leading one-make championship featuring drivers from all over the world.
The series will be staging the first of its five rounds in the 2021/2022 season this weekend. Competitors will be behind the wheel of the all-new Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (Type 922) car, powered by a six-cylinder Boxer engine that generates 510hp, with a maximum torque of 470Nm at 6,150rpm.
Meanwhile, to complement the racing, there will be plenty to enjoy off the track for the whole family. BIC has lined up a vibrant entertainment programme to complement all the on-track action, and it features a colourful mix of stage acts, roaming entertainers and kids’ rides and activities.
The stage acts and roaming entertainers will be performing at various times throughout the day. Amongst the top attractions will be the “Hakuna Matata” African dance show, which will have four 40-minute sets each day.
Local bands will also take to the stage, while roaming entertainers will be out and about in BIC’s vending area interacting with fans with their unique acts. These are set to include a Fire Show, an LED Dance Show and a Bongo Percussion performance.
A fantastic activity area for kids of all ages will also be located along the BIC vending area behind the circuit’s Main Grandstand. Young race-goers will be able to enjoy all kinds of attractions, ranging from exciting, adrenaline-pumping rides to face painting.
There will be an ice rink to go skating, a trampoline and maze, plus rides in the Flying Car and Pirate Ship. There is also a Bunny Carousel, an Inflatable Cars Circuit, a Thomas the Train ride and a Dream Land experience.
