Manama Dec. 1, 2004: The Bahrain International Circuit slogan “Home of MotorSport in the Middle East” is not just a group of resounding words. Behind each letter lie enormous Bahraini efforts to achieve a huge leap in all sorts of international motorsport events taking place in Bahrain. These efforts are masterminded and conducted mainly by Bahraini citizens aided by foreign expertise to help reach perfection.
Eight months ago, the dream turned into reality, and Bahrain became the first Middle Eastern country ever to host a round of the FIA Formula One Championship. However, Bahraini ambitions never reach a limit, and extended to host other racing series that help support national awareness of motorsport. This emphasized Bahrain’s location on the regional map as a home for motorsport in the Middle East.
In that regard, the Bahrain International circuit has just concluded the events of the Bahrain GT Festival, which took place during the 25th and 26th of November. It featured around 70 of the most extravagant GT cars racing wheel to wheel in an astounding show of speed crowned by a much-acclaimed regional and international success.
