About
The Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir hosts one of the most spectacular rounds of the Formula 1 World Championship each March — often as the season opener. The night race under floodlights against the desert backdrop is one of the most visually dramatic events in motorsport. Beyond the racing, the Grand Prix weekend is a major social event for Bahrain, with concerts, celebrity appearances, and hospitality events drawing visitors from across the Gulf and internationally. The circuit also hosts MotoGP and the 8 Hours of Bahrain endurance race.
