About the Circuit
The circuit, opened in 2004 in Sakhir, 30 km southwest of Manama, is truly a marvel and a key opener for motorsport in the Middle East. Romain Grosjean's terrible crash (2020) is still etched in the memory of many Formula 1 fans.
Due to the war in Iran, Formula One Management (FOM) has cancelled the race in the Middle East for this year.

More information
All stands have reserved seating, screen views and are covered, but this is less of a factor now that most of the action in Bahrain takes place after dark, when temperatures are much lower. All tickets are available for 3 days only (Friday-Sunday), except for the Beyon Stand.
We recommend booking the Beyon Grandstand. The Beyon Grandstand is located behind the main grandstand. With fantastic panoramic views of over 60% of the track, you can witness all the action in different sections, from straights to tricky corners, including the famous “desert loops”. The right-hand hairpin (turn 8) offers great overtaking opportunities as cars are forced to slam on the brakes. Follow the rest of the track action thanks to a giant screen opposite the grandstand.
