The Circuit

In 2014, we installed a state-of-the-art floodlighting system around the track that allowed us to host night racing.
Having hosted that year’s Bahrain Grand Prix under the stars, it was clear we were ready to step into an entirely new era that involves night racing.

We offer five different track layouts to our guests, each of which can be used for a number of purposes ranging from car and bike club events to manufacturer days and demonstrations. With luxurious lounges available too, the BIC is a perfect place to combine hospitality with on-track demonstrations – ideal for product launches and media events.

A dedicated member of our events team and our track support team will be on hand to ensure that all aspects of your day run smoothly!
