Thirty days until ‘Limitless’ thrills at F1 Bahrain Grand Prix weekend at BIC

Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) kicks off on Tuesday (February 26) the final 30-day countdown to the most anticipated weekend of the year at the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2019. 

The sporting and entertainment spectacle takes place over four days from March 28 to 31 and the excitement amongst race fans is about to reach an all-time high.

 

 

Formula 1’s teams and drivers have already begun their preparations for the start of the new season with winter testing in Barcelona,
Spain. Although the start to the 2019 campaign is still a couple of weeks away, early indications point towards another hotly contested championship, and the potential for another humdinger of a Bahrain Grand Prix is “Limitless”.

The world championship then gets underway in Australia on March 17, with Bahrain following as the second of 21 rounds.

 

 

The 57-lap sprint in the heart of the Sakhir desert will mark the 999th World Championship race in the history of the top flight. It is being held as part of the landmark 15th season of BIC and it will be the sixth time it is taking place under BIC’s state-of-the-art floodlights as a night race.

Aside from Formula 1, the weekend’s programme will also include racing from the FIA Formula 2 Championship and the Porsche GT3 Cup
Challenge Middle East, as well as loads of off-track attractions highlighted by the back-to-back live performances of Martin Garrix on the Friday of the event and Kygo on the Saturday.

Tickets are selling out fast, so fans are being urged to pick theirs up at the earliest to not miss out on the hottest event in the region.

 

 

Tickets for all four days for seating along the Main Grandstand are BD150 apiece. A Batelco Grandstand ticket for all four days costs BD120, but there are also two other options for Batelco Grandstand seats. For a ticket to Saturday and Sunday only, the cost is BD100, while for Friday only it is BD60. A four-day ticket to the Turn One Grandstand is BD100; whereas University and Victory Grandstand tickets are BD60 apiece.

It is worth noting that BIC has covered the Value Added Tax (VAT) on all Bahrain Grand Prix ticket prices, saving fans from any additional expense to attend the biggest sporting and social event of the year. The prices are also amongst the most competitive for any event on the Formula 1 calendar.
