The Bahrain International Circuit has become an essential date on my Formula 1 calendar. This world-class venue hosts not only F1 races but also thrilling competitions for Porsche Cup, Formula 2, and Formula 3. What truly stands out is the festive atmosphere during F1 race weekends. The circuit transforms into an exciting entertainment hub with activities for adults, teenagers, and children of all ages. The concerts that are part of the F1 experience add another dimension to the event, creating unforgettable memories for attendees. Throughout the year, the circuit maintains a diverse calendar of motorsport events and activities. I recommend checking their official website for the annual program to plan your visit accordingly. If you're traveling through Bahrain, the circuit's visitor shop is worth a stop. You can purchase souvenirs or official merchandise from your favorite racing team to commemorate your experience. The facilities are impressive, with excellent viewing positions around the track allowing spectators to witness the high-speed action up close. Racing experts frequently praise the circuit's layout for producing exciting overtaking opportunities, particularly into Turn 1 after the main straight. So if you find yourself in Bahrain or are planning a trip to the Middle East, make sure to swing by the Bahrain International Circuit. Whether it's race day or not, there's always something interesting happening at this premier motorsport destination.

If you're going to see the F1 then don't bother watch it on TV. We allowed two hours to get there and we were 20mins away, and missed the start. They put us in car park 16 which was the furthest away from university stand 3 which was half an hour fast walk from the car park. You need commentary through headphones as you can't hear the tanoy system over the cars. The two screens opposite the stands were too small and you can't see the drivers positions without binoculars. We had cues getting out as they wanted you to scan your ticket going in and out which wasn't quick enough. The water provided for refilling a bought bottle inside the circuit was inadequate with only two stations for 80 thousand people, they should be one outside every stand. The other drinks selling outlets had massive queues all the time. Other than that the racing was great and the fireworks outstanding 😉👍

Insgesamt war das F1 Wochenende sehr gut organisiert. Wir haben schon viele Rennen auf der ganzen Welt besucht und hier war es insgesamt wirklich positiv! Die Anreise war unkompliziert und schnell. Man sollte natürlich nicht erst kurz vor der F1 anreisen, sondern auch einen Blick auf das Nebenprogramm (F2, F3, Porsche) werfen. Der Verkehr in Bahrain ist sehr chaotisch, man muss ein bisschen Zeit extra einplanen. Die Busse von und zu den Hotels waren super und selbst bei der Abreise am Sonntag hatten wir keine Wartezeit. Auch die Einlasskontrollen waren schnell und unkompliziert. Wir waren am Batelco Grandstand, der wirklich schön ist und eine tolle Aussicht liefert. Auch der Paddock Eingang um ein paar Bilder mit Fahrern, Teamchefs usw. abzugreifen ist auf dem Weg dorthin. Wirklich negativ dort (der Hauptgrund für die 3 Sterne) ist die extrem schlechte Versorgung mit Essen und Trinken. Es gibt dort nur 2 „Supermärkte“ für die komplette Tribüne. Dort gibt es kleine Snacks und Getränke. Wer etwas richtiges essen möchte muss zurück zur Haupttribüne. (Dort ist das Essen wirklich lecker!) Es gibt dort nichts was sättigt! Die Getränkeauswahl ist gut, ABER (man bedenke das man auf dem Gelände überall Banner usw. findet die predigen was man nicht alles für die Umwelt tut um Plastik usw. einzusparen) dort wird jedes Getränk in einen extra Pappbecher umgekippt und verschlossen, weil man die Flasche nicht mitnehmen darf. Das ist wirklich ein Witz und führt dazu, dass man dann Sonntags (bei uns 45 Minuten, nur 8 Personen vor uns, in 30 Grad brütender Hitze) ansteht um ein Wasser zu bekommen, weil jedes Getränk umgefüllt wird. Hinter uns eine Schlange bei der man kein Ende sieht. Zusätzlich sind die Becher dann noch zu klein und die Reste müssen ausgetrunken werden. Das ist wirklich peinlich und geht viel besser! Bei den ganzen Reinigungskräften (die übrigens einen tollen Job gemacht haben) wäre es doch völlig egal gewesen ob man nun Unmengen an Pappbechern oder einfach Plastikflaschen einsammelt? Naja, die Preise dort sind wie ich finde, auch im Vergleich, sehr fair. Das genannte Problem mit den Getränken geht aber VIEL besser! Alles zu bezahlen geht easy über ApplePay usw. Bargeld braucht man - in ganz Bahrain - eigentlich nicht. Die Rennen waren unterhaltsam und das Feuerwerk zum Abschluss war fantastisch! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

(New review) We made it post covid for the race week and it was Delightful (+1 star). They were celebrating 20yr anniversary and hence a lot of attractions were offered at our ticket prices.

We especially loved Circus Extreme- so professional, so amazing and funny too. The performing artists of different kinds who came to entertain us with their colorful funky costumes and their drums were amazing too. The driver selfie was fun and we got to take it with multiple teams. The selection of food and beverages was good (not part of ticket prices). The Fanzone was a great experience as we got to be close upfront and see the drivers upclose (no autographs from drivers here which is understandable given the crowd). The DJ shows from Zedd and Diplo were amazing.

If only we had arrived earlier, we could have had the opportunity to get closer to the teams and drivers and a chance for an autograph. Their Instagram page was helpful, we got to know parking tickets had to be collected outside of the venue in different locations.

We only wished 2 things- the screen in front of victory grandstand was bigger and that the crowd management during exits and especially the road traffic were slightly better. Since there is only a single entry and exit point it was very tough and a long wait. The staff at the parking were initially doing a great job by trying to regulate the traffic from each parking lot making sure it was in an orderly fashion but then he stopped after a point and then it was chaos. But we faced this only on the Thu and Fri. On Sat we timed our exit and it was quite okay.

(Old review) Due to covid, not everything was functioning as per website. The tours were not available, best to check with them before making a trip.

We were allowed to see the grand stands and the welcome center. They have a good collection...
