Manama, Dec. 22 (BNA)– Fantastic prizes will be up for grab tomorrow, as Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) conducts the first of its weekly raffle draws in the Early Bird promotional period for tickets to the 2013 GULF AIR BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX.
At 12 noon, an electronic raffle will take place at the BIC premises in Sakhir in the presence of BIC officials and a Ministry of Industry and Commerce representative.
Several lucky winners will emerge and they will each come away with one of the following valuable prizes: iPhones, iPads, BIC Xperience packages and return air tickets to Dubai.
All those who have already purchased their tickets to next year’s GULF AIR BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX are entered in today’s draw.
They are also automatically entered in the grand raffle draw for the chance to win a brand new Mini Cooper JCW, which will be held at the end of the Early Bird promotional period on January 31, 2013.
This special treat has been made possible only by BIC, “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East”, and its official partners.
The iPhones and iPads are being provided by Batelco, the return air tickets by Algosaibi Travel, and the brand new Mini Cooper JCW by Euro Motors. The BIC Xperience packages are courtesy of BIC.
All of today’s winners will be contacted immediately by BIC and they must pick up their prizes on Monday night from the BIC stand in Bahrain City Centre.
BIC’s Early Bird Discount offers the best value for money with a 15 per cent reduction on all ticket prices to the 2013 GULF AIR BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX.
Tickets are being sold at the BIC stands in Bahrain City Centre and Seef Mall.
Tickets can be bought for seats along BIC’s Main Grandstand, Batelco Grandstand, Turn One Grandstand, University Grandstand and Victory Grandstand.
After the 15 per cent discount, tickets to the Main Grandstand are now BD153 for all three days of the Grand Prix. The Main Grandstand offers an ideal view of the start and the finish, the circuit’s main straight, the main Pit Lane, and the winners’ podium. A ticket for Race Day alone costs BD131.75 under the Early Bird Discount.
Tickets to the Batelco Grandstand, which overlooks the inner circuit and the Support Race Pit Lanes, are BD102 for all three days and BD89.25 for Race Day alone.
At the Turn One Grandstand, where the field of more than 20 cars competing in the Grand Prix can be seen trying to squeeze past one another while hoping to remain unscathed, tickets are BD68 apiece for the weekend and BD59.5 for Race Day alone.
For the University Grandstand, located just after the first couple of turns, tickets cost BD55.25 over three days while a Race Day pass costs BD46.75.
Finally, the Victory Grandstand overlooks the circuit’s final turn. Tickets cost BD42.5 for the entire Grand Prix weekend and BD34 for Race Day.
All three-day ticket holders will be able to enjoy exclusive activities with their passes, such as a Pit Lane Walk on the Thursday afternoon of the Grand Prix.
The Early Bird Discount also covers Friday Roaming Tickets, which gives the holder the opportunity to move around the circuit freely and watch the weekend’s practices for the Grand Prix from any of the strategically located Grandstands. After the 15 per cent reduction, the Roaming Ticket costs BD55.
The 2013 GULF AIR BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX will be held on April 19-20-21 at BIC.
