Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) is all set to have plenty of firsts at this weekend’s (Friday to Sunday, December 4 to 6) Formula 1 Rolex Sakhir Grand Prix.

It will be the first time that the BIC will host back-to-back F1 races, having successfully hosted the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix last weekend.

The event will also be the first time BIC’s 3.543-kilometre Outer Circuit will be used for a competitive race, posing a first-time challenge for the drivers and an all-new spectacle for motorsport fans around the world to enjoy for the first time.
