Excitement and intensity is set to go one level higher at Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) on Friday November 28.
"The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East" in Sakhir will be hosting a thrilling first round in the all-new 2014-2015 season of the BIC Auto X Championship.
The series is one of the most sought-after public championships at BIC. It is open to motor racing enthusiasts of all skill levels and experience. They must bring their very own road cars and take on a pre-determined course set along BIC’s car parks five and six. Timed runs will determine the day’s winners.
The cost to take part is BD15 per participant. . These classes are decided by the engine size and power output of the car, and are set out to make each class as equal as possible.
These categories include the Standard, the Modified and the Supercar. Further sub-categories may also be established, depending on the car in the competition.
Participants must put their cars through basic "scrutinizing" before getting the green light to take part. Each driver must also be wearing appropriate clothing. Shorts and loose, open-toed footwear like slippers or flip-flops will not be allowed.
Registration can be done from 3pm onwards, while the action will get underway from 4pm.
In the BIC Auto X Championship, drivers are required to navigate a course marked by cones in the quickest possible time. There will be a pre-determined start line and a pre-determined finish, and the fastest driver wins. Participants may be penalised for infractions.
Each driver will have their fastest two timed runs counted. The best time will then be used to decide the winners from each separate class.
Each outright winner will then compete against each other using BIC Hyundai Genesis saloon cars in a Knockout Final. The best time wins, with the victor moving on to face the next competitor. This will ultimately determine the best driver of the meeting.
Awards will be presented to the top three drivers in each class, plus the night’s overall winner.
The new Auto X season is scheduled to feature five rounds. Points will be collected by drivers at each event, and this season’s overall champion will be crowned at the end of all the action.
