Sakhir Circuit

The Sakhir International Circuit in Bahrain is not only home to the Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix, but also hosts GP2, Formula 3, GT and drag racing events. In 2020, one of the outer configurations of the circuit hosted the Formula 1 Sakhir Grand Prix. This flexibility in use is due to the fact that the circuit’s configuration allows it to be divided into several independent sections.

Located 30 kilometers south of Bahrain’s capital, Manama, the Sakhir Circuit is not designed for ultra-high speeds, although cars can reach speeds of up to 322 km/h (200 mph). The track is 5.14 kilometers long and includes 15 turns.

The circuit’s grandstands can accommodate up to 70,000 spectators, of which 10,500 can be seated in the main grandstand. The latter is an eight-story tower with a rooftop terrace, VIP areas, and a restaurant. The infrastructure also includes a media center, a photography center, a medical center, and other services.

In 2007, the BIC complex received numerous awards for its excellent safety, technical equipment, and race marshals.

From 11 to 13 April 2025, the track will host the Bahrain Grand Prix, offering three action-packed days: two practice sessions, morning and afternoon qualifying, and the race itself.
