Attending any Grand Prix is an experience you won’t forget, but some of the F1 venues stand out more for the sheer spectacle than others. One of them is the Bahrain Grand Prix. In this article, we look at ways to get there to experience its magnificence in person.
The Bahraini circuit is regarded as one of the most advanced circuits in the world. It is home to the motorsports of the Middle East and has featured some of Formula 1’s most exciting moments including Fernando Alonso winning his first race for Ferrari in 2010 and the Lewis Hamilton/Nico Rosberg epic team-battles in 2014.
The Bahrain Grand Prix combines the very best of international motorsport with top-class family entertainment and major international musical performances, race fans with tickets to the four-day extravaganza will be able to attend the concerts at no extra cost.
The concert line-up includes Grammy award-winning DJ and producer, Afrojack, as the major act on Friday 20 March and Global Top 10 DJ, Don Diablo, on Saturday 21 March. Other off-track attractions include a 42 m high Ferris Wheel, a carousel-like Ghost Rider speed ride and carnival games.

There are five potential track layouts within the complex, consisting of an inner track for testing, club events, and an outer track for all classes of racing, incentive events, and heavy-duty testing. The F1 track itself consists of 15 main turns of different widths to provide varied racing lines.
