| Circuit Details |
New to the F1 calendar in 2004 is the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), a 5.4km track that will host the inaugural Bahrain GP on 04.04.04. The addition of a Gulf state has been the wish of F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone and FIA president Max Mosley for some time as the sport heads out of Europe.
The circuit is expected to be the most advanced facility of its kind in the world and has received the thumbs up from a number of drivers who have paid a visit to the track as it gets constructed from scratch.
Designed by the now famous Hermann Tilke, the circuit promises some excitement, something that is lacking on some of the more mundane circuits on the calendar. According to Ralf Schumacher, the BIC offers three overtaking opportunities on what is a fast, challenging and demanding circuit.
