Manama: Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), known as "The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East," is gearing up to host the Bapco Energies 8 Hours of Bahrain, the concluding event of the FIA World Endurance Championship, on 7 and 8 November in Sakhir.
According to Bahrain News Agency, the event promises excitement not only from the world championship race but also from various support races and entertainment activities. The entertainment area behind the main grandstand will feature world-class stunt teams showcasing impressive performances. Visitors can anticipate thrilling motorcycle shows, stunt driving displays by Terry Grant and Lee Bowers, freestyle motocross shows, and monster truck displays offering passenger rides.
This edition marks the 14th occurrence of the WEC in Bahrain and the seventh instance of the race being held in its current eight-hour format, the only race of this length in the championship calendar. Additionally, the weekend will host the opening round of the Porsche Carrera Cup Middle East.
