Manama, Jun. 17. (BNA) — Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East”, will on Friday (June 20) host a special Open Track Night solely for motorbike enthusiasts.

Bikers of all skill levels are being invited to bring their very own two-wheelers for a unique three-hour event that takes you as close to the real racing experience as possible.

Participants will be able to drive along BIC’s 2.550-kilometre Inner Track while enjoying the awesome spectacle of BIC’s brilliant floodlighting system, which made its global debut at this year’s 2014 Formula One Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix.

Action will be held non-stop from 7pm to 10pm with an Open Pit-Lane.

The cost to take part is BD80 per person. Spectators wishing to watch the action will be able to attend for free.

BIC’s Open Track Night follows the popularity of BIC’s Open Track Days, which are held regularly at the Sakhir desert track with participants coming from all over the Gulf.

This Friday’s event will be the first to be held under floodlights exclusively for motorbikes.

The activity will be run to the highest of international safety standards, although riders will still be able to push their bikes to their very limit.

All participating bikes must first go through scrutineering. Those taking part must also own a valid driving licence and must be wearing the appropriate clothing along with closed-toe footwear.
