Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir will host the first Ebrahim K Kanoo Drag and Drift Nights event of the 2026-2027 season on Monday, 26 October 2026. Activities at the circuit are scheduled to take place between 6pm and 11pm. This event marks the official opening of the latest seasonal calendar for the venue.

Participation Fees and Options

Drivers interested in participating in the Ebrahim K Kanoo Drag and Drift Nights at Bahrain International Circuit can choose between two entry options. The cost is BD11 for those wishing to join both drag racing and drifting activities. Alternatively, participants may select one activity individually for a fee of BD8. These pricing structures are designed to accommodate a variety of driver preferences for the upcoming track sessions.

Spectators or participants seeking a different experience may purchase passenger rides in vehicles taking part in the event. These rides are available for an additional fee of BD4.500 per person. All payments are processed on-site at the Sakhir facility to provide access to the track sessions. The availability of passenger rides allows individuals to experience the performance of the participating vehicles firsthand while on the track.

Spectator Access and Requirements

Fans and spectators wishing to observe the Ebrahim K Kanoo Drag and Drift Nights at the Bahrain International Circuit may purchase tickets for BD2 each. These entry tickets allow access to the Sakhir venue for the duration of the scheduled activities. By purchasing these tickets, spectators are granted admission to the facility from the start of the event at 6pm until the conclusion of track operations at 11pm.

Drivers intending to participate in the track sessions must complete a mandatory technical scrutineering process on-site before registration is finalized. Officials at the Bahrain International Circuit require this inspection to ensure all participating vehicles meet the safety standards necessary for drag and drift sessions. Participants should plan to arrive with sufficient time to complete this assessment prior to the commencement of track operations.

The technical scrutineering process serves as a formal requirement for all entrants at the Bahrain International Circuit. During this phase, officials review the mechanical condition of the vehicles to verify compliance with the safety protocols established for the Ebrahim K Kanoo Drag and Drift Nights. Because this assessment must be performed on-site at the Sakhir facility, drivers are encouraged to arrive early to ensure they can register and begin their track time without delay. The circuit management emphasizes that no vehicle will be permitted to enter the drag or drift sessions until it has successfully passed this mandatory inspection. Once the vehicle has been cleared by the officials, the driver may finalize their registration and proceed to the track for the evening’s activities.
