BAHRAIN INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT (BIC)

Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) is an ultramodern motorsport facility that is located in the heart of the Sakhir desert. Designed by the renowned German engineer Hermann Tilke, the circuit incorporates many features of local culture.

Costing approximately $150 million, the entire facility took less than 18 months to build – quite a feat considering the massive undertaking that was needed to develop the land.

BIC features five FIA certified track layouts, more than anywhere else in the world . This allows the circuit to host a range of motor racing events. The 5.412-kilometre Grand Prix Track regularly hosts international races, including the Formula One Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix, the FIA World Endurance Championship Six Hours of Bahrain, races in the GP2 Series and the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.

In 2014, the circuit celebrated its landmark 10th anniversary by introducing a state-of-the-art floodlight system. This led to the Bahrain Grand Prix being held as a night race for the first time, ushering in a new era for the circuit.

BIC is also a favourite venue for hosting a range of off-track events. Some of the major non-racing events held at the circuit include the Bahrain International Air Show, the Bahrain International Motor Show and Challenge Bahrain triathlon to name a few.

Throughout the year, corporate events take place at BIC. Exclusive lounges, hospitality suites and function rooms make a perfect location for product launches, client receptions, business conferences and large-scale outdoor events. Social events such as weddings, music concerts and charity occasions are also hosted.
