Bahrain International Circuit has enjoyed its busiest week of motorsport competition and corporate activities since it was opened in March last year. The circuit is now really living up to its motto “the Home of Motorsport in the Middle East� with countless events taking place at the circuit during the last seven days.
The list of events underlined the circuit’s portfolio of activities and included the opening round of the Bahrain International Drag Racing Championship with record crowds and two days of intense competition. In addition the circuit hosted the FIA sanctioned second round of the FIA Middle East rally Championship with rally headquarters, the service area, parc ferme and the Start and Finish all taking place at the circuit. Everyone involved in the rally, (and there were many nationalities from the GCC, Britain, Ireland and mainland Europe represented), were overawed by the scale and professionalism and the organisation of both the Bahrain Motor Federation (BMF) and the Bahrain International Circuit. Winning driver Nasser Al Attiya commended the organisers on a fantastic event held in facilities of such a high standard.
