BIC hosts exciting Ramadan edition of Ebrahim K Kanoo Drag and Drift Nights
Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), 'The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East', hosts an exciting Ramadan edition of the Ebrahim K Kanoo Drag and Drift Nights today. The event will be lighting up both the circuit's quarter-mile drag strip and its vast drift park to make for double the thrills on one single occasion. Participants will be able to bring their very own cars or motorbikes and push them to their limits in either the drag racing or the drifting. There is also the option to do both for a memorable evening at BIC. Tonight's event is scheduled to be held from 8pm to 1am for a unique Ramadan experience. Both the drag racing and the drifting can be done for a single fee of BD11. Participation in just the drag racing or just the drifting costs BD8. Those who would like to join in on the drag or drifting as a passenger can get into a participant's car for an additional fee of BD4.500. Registration for those wishing to join can be done on site. Aside from the drag racing and drifting, also available for thrill-seekers tonight is the Dragster Experience. This is BIC's most adrenaline-pumping passenger activity, known as 'The Fastest Ride on Earth', and it takes one or two passengers at a time in an iconic Top Dragster, where they go from zero to 100kph in a mind-boggling one second. The Dragster Experience is available at BD44 for the first passenger, while a second passenger can get 50 per cent off. Spectators who wish to attend and watch the action in the Ebrahim K Kanoo Drag and Drift Nights can purchase their tickets online at BD2 apiece at BIC's official website Tickets for children aged 12 and below are BD1 each.
