Bahrain Grand Prix 2014

Bahrain Grand Prix 2014

To mark the tenth anniversary of the F1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix, Bahrain International Circuit is going all-out on trackside entertainment to make sure the event is a true family affair and one to be remembered.

For the first time ever it will be a night race with the drivers leaving the grid at 6pm but there are practice rounds to watch as well as support races with the opening round of the GP2 Series – famed for providing the F1 drivers of tomorrow – and the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East, the single manufacturer race which is always entertaining to watch with its hard-fought rivalries and regional star drivers.

Meanwhile, off the track, there’s something for everyone:

Main Stage
Boadicea – An all-girl hip-hop/street dance group whose style replicates how warriors work together to work as a team to win. The girls team their kicking dance moves with bright, fun fashion for a really entertaining dance show.
