At the circuit in Sakhir, preparations for the pre-season Formula 1 tests, which start next Thursday, are being completed.
Containers of team garage equipment and car parts have already been delivered to the track and teams of mechanics are doing their usual work: installing, assembling and debugging.
On the first day, the tests will be held behind closed doors and on Friday and Saturday spectators will be allowed on the track, and if anyone would like to see the new cars with their own eyes, they can do so by paying 5 dinars, which is a little over $13 Such a ticket entitles you to take a seat in the main grandstand, located opposite the pit lane and the team boxes.
The weather forecast for the second half of the week promises temperatures approaching 30 degrees, but it is possible to watch the trials in a more comfortable environment if you purchase an entry ticket to the Paddock Club, which will also be open on these days. Of course you have to pay a lot more for this.
The organizers of the Bahrain Grand Prix are reporting high demand for tickets for the race, to be held on March 5, with all seats in the main grandstand already sold out. At the same time, the autodrome management issued a separate warning about possible cases of speculation and even the sale of counterfeit tickets.
“We urge fans to only purchase Formula 1 race tickets from authorized retailers,” the statement said. “As the number of tickets for the race is limited, we expect that there may be illegal sellers who will try to sell tickets at high prices.
The Bahrain International Circuit cannot be held responsible for tickets purchased through unauthorized channels as there is no guarantee that they are genuine.”
