BIC to host exciting fan experiences all weekend with Open Track Day and Track Experience

Race fans can once again satisfy their need for speed at Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) this weekend with a pair of the most popular adrenaline-pumping experiences at “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East”.

On Friday (17 December), BIC hosts an Open Track Day for cars and motorbikes along it’s 5.412-kilometre Grand Prix track—the same used in the Kingdom’s annual Formula 1 spectacle. That will then be followed on Saturday (18 December) by the Track Experience, with driver and passenger activities in some of the fastest race cars in the world.

Open Track on Friday will take place between 9am and 4pm. Participants will have the chance to take their very own cars or motorbikes around the circuit and explore their limits within a safe and controlled environment.

The cost to take part is BD89.5 for the full day and BD63 for a half day. A single session costs BD26.5. Customers who pre-book their slots can benefit from reduced rates. The full day would cost just BD79, a half day BD52.5, and a single session BD21.

Aside from the Open Track activity, the Radical SR3 passenger experience can also be enjoyed on Friday. This costs BD37. The Radical SR3 car boasts an RPE-Suzuki Generation 1,340 DOHC engine. It can go from zero to 100kph in 3.4 seconds.

Meanwhile, the Track Experience on Saturday will be available for both drivers and passengers alike from 8am to 4pm.

Those looking to take control of a powerful racing machine can opt for the Clio Cup or Radical SR1 Driver Experiences. The Clio Cup car is a Renault-manufactured racing vehicle that features a 1.6-litre, turbocharged engine that can generate up to 220bhp and 6,000rpm. This drive costs BD115.5. The Radical SR1 has an engine that can generate 185bhp. It launches from zero to 100kph in 3.6 seconds and has a top speed of 222kph. This drive costs BD126, and completing the Clio Cup drive is a prerequisite to taking part in the SR1 experience.

In addition to the drives, passenger experiences in the Clio Cup car and a Radical SR3 car are also on offer. The Clio Cup Passenger Experience can be bought for BD26.5, while the Radical SR3 Passenger Experience price is the same as in the previous day at BD37.
