Record-breaking stunt performers to headline off-track entertainment at Bapco 8 Hours of Bahrain
Bahrain International Circuit, “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East”, has put together an incredible line-up of off-track entertainment for the fast-approaching Bapco 8 Hours of Bahrain, the final round of the 2022 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC).
The endurance racing spectacle is scheduled to take place 11 and 12 November in Sakhir, and there will be plenty to look forward to—in addition to the races—with the wide-ranging family attractions, headlined by world-class stunt shows.
These include world record-breaking stunt drivers along with motorbike and quadbike performers who have amazed crowds all over the world, namely the Stannage Stunt Team, Terry Grant and Lee Bowers.
Tickets continue to be available and fans are urged to purchase theirs today so as not to miss out on another extra special occasion at BIC.
Tickets cost just BD5 for adults and BD2.5 for kids for the two-day weekend programme. They can be purchased online at bahraingp.com or by calling the BIC Hotline on +973-17450000.
The Stannage Stunt Team have performed across the globe, with their shows featuring a whole range of stunts on two wheels and four, as well as a number of high falls and tricks with fire.
These shows are sure to generate great excitement and are a tremendous crowd-puller, so fans must not miss this opportunity to see one of the UK’s top stunt teams.
Meanwhile, international stunt driver and multiple world record-holder Terry Grant is also set to thrill the crowds at the Bapco 8 Hours of Bahrain.
Devoted to bringing great stunt-driving and motorsport to spectators around the world, Grant’s accolades include the highest loop-the-loop in a car, the fastest two-wheel mile, and the furthest barrel-roll jump.
Furthermore, the UK’s premier professional stunt rider Lee Bowers will also be performing.
Bowers has toured all over the globe and his control of his bike—performing high and low-speed manoeuvres—continues to impress crowds wherever he goes.
Bowers’s signature aerobatics and extensive list of tricks are truly a memorable experience for all those who witness them.
There will be loads more off-track entertainment to add to the stunt shows at the upcoming Bapco 8 Hours of Bahrain, which marks the culmination of the WEC’s landmark 10th anniversary season.
The endurance racing spectacle will feature a packed 37-car grid with competition in four WEC race categories. They will be competing in bumper-to-bumper action from day to night around BIC’s 5.412-kilometre track, making for a brilliant spectacle that flags off under the afternoon sun and then wraps up under the stars while being brilliantly lit by BIC’s state-of-the-art floodlights.
There will also be plenty of action in support of the WEC, including the WTCR Race of Bahrain, part of the 2022 WTCR-FIA World Touring Car Cup, and the Porsche Sprint Challenge Middle East.
The Bapco 8 Hours of Bahrain’s significance goes beyond the racing and entertainment.
This year, BIC will be implementing a ground-breaking new Green Ticket project, which will set the benchmark for a number of initiatives in areas of sustainability.
This very special initiative is being done in cooperation with The Oil and Gas Holding Company B.S.C © ‘nogaholding’ and The Government of Bahrain.
A proportion of the ticket price, together with an amount matched by nogaholding, will be donated to a local environmental project in cooperation with the Government. This particular fund will finance the planting of mangroves in Bahrain, and meaningfully contribute to Bahrain’s commitment to quadruple mangrove coverage in The Kingdom by 2035.
