The Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2025 is primed for excitement, featuring not only thrilling races but also live entertainment and unique fan experiences. Scheduled for April 11 to 13, this year’s event marks the fourth round of the 2025 FIA Formula 1 World Championship, celebrating 75 years of both Formula 1 and Gulf Air, the grand prix title sponsor.
The Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), dubbed ‘The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East,’ has developed an extraordinary support program for the race weekend, ensuring continuous action for all attendees. Fans can look forward to races from key feeder series, including the FIA Formula 2 Championship and the FIA Formula 3 Championship, as well as the popular Porsche Carrera Cup Middle East (PCCME), which has established itself as a staple at this annual event.
With ticket sales surging, BIC’s Main Grandstand is already over 90% sold out, with Turn 1 and Beyon Grandstands exceeding 80%. While some hospitality options remain available, the F1 Paddock Club and BIC’s Corporate Lounges are fully booked. Enthusiasts should act fast, as tickets for the Champions Club and The Dome by F1 Experiences are still on sale, providing special access and experiences during the grand prix weekend.
For those traveling from abroad, BIC has teamed up with Gulf Air Holidays and Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority to offer curated travel packages. These include round-trip flights, hotel accommodations, grand prix tickets, and transfers, all at competitive rates. This accessibility is expected to bring international fans closer to the heart of the race.
The F2 and F3 races are significant stepping stones for aspiring drivers aiming for F1. This year’s F2 competition will see Bahrain hosting its second round of 14, following the season opener held recently in Australia. The F3 series, starting its exciting new era with the latest Dallara-built car, will host its second of 10 rounds at BIC. This new model enhances safety and performance, using Aramco’s advanced fuel, developed to align with the FIA’s 100% sustainable fuel standards.
During the F1 weekend, both F2 and F3 will feature two races each; with the Sprint Races taking place on Saturday and the Feature Races on Sunday. The PCCME, returning for its fifth and penultimate meeting of the season, promises fierce competition as it finds its way back to BIC after having staged its opener last November.
This year's Bahrain Grand Prix will carry the slogan “The Desert Never Sleeps,” reflecting the vibrant atmosphere surrounding the spectacular 57-lap night race. Beyond the races, fans can anticipate extensive off-track attractions suitable for families.
The entertainment lineup includes international dance music superstar Peggy Gou, who will perform on Saturday night, April 12. All grand prix ticket holders can enjoy her concert at no additional cost, making it an exceptional event for music lovers and racing fans alike.
Adding to the event's thrill, the globally acclaimed Circus Extreme will make its way to BIC, alongside crowd-favorite attractions such as the Ferris Wheel and the Kids Race Festival featuring beloved characters like Sonic the Hedgehog and Snoopy. This array of entertainment aims to create unforgettable memories for attendees of all ages.
To make the event even more impactful, BIC has initiated a charity auction to support the Royal Humanitarian Foundation. Teams from the F1 circuit have generously donated unique memorabilia items, intensifying the excitement for bidders. This auction is currently live and will continue until race day on April 13.
With just weeks remaining until the Bahrain Grand Prix, anticipation continues to build. The combination of high-octane racing, vibrant entertainment, and community support makes this event not just another race but also a celebration of culture, sport, and camaraderie. For fans, it’s time to secure their final tickets and prepare for what promises to be an extraordinary weekend of motorsport.
