High-speed night race in the middle of the desert

Drama in the Desert
When night falls, Bahrain International Circuit comes alive. Watch the world's best racers push their machines to the absolute limit under the floodlights. From the heavy braking zones of Turn 1 to the high-speed main straight, track every split-second decision from the grandstand, supported by giant screens and expert live commentary.
All for the Fans
Off-track, explore a desert oasis packed with cutting-edge F1® technology, racing simulators and exclusive exhibitions. In the F1® official Fan Zones, you’ll also find world-class F&B offerings to keep you refreshed and energised throughout the race weekend.
The F1® Festival Feeling
A Grand Prix weekend is about far more than just the racing. In the F1® Village, live performances and international DJs take the stage across all three days. Dance under the stars in a premium, custom-designed environment built to keep you cool, comfortable and completely energized.
Getting to the Circuit
Bahrain International Airport connects the island to most major cities across the Middle East and Europe, and the Sakhir circuit is situated only 30 km from central Manama. During the race weekend, we recommend using the official shuttle services running between the capital and the circuit as onsite parking is limited.
