The second round of the highly popular Ramadan Drifting Challenge will be taking place on Friday night (August 3) at Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) in Sakhir. The event, which opened with nearly two thousand spectators attending the opening round, is the top yearly attraction of the Holy Month at “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East”. All the action will be taking place at BIC car parks numbered five and six, where a special donut-shaped course has been erected especially for the competition. Talented drifters from all over Bahrain and across the GCC are expected to take part in the meeting. It will be a valuable opportunity for them to showcase their power-sliding skills within a safe and controlled environment. Participants will be judged on their performances, which are done within a predetermined time. The competitors with the highest number of points at the end of the event will be declared winners. Those interested in taking part can sign in at the competition venue between 8pm and 8.45pm. Action will be held from 9pm to 11pm. The entry fee to participate in the Challenge is BD5. Fans wishing to join in on the action and get into a car as a passenger may do so for BD2. In order to be a part of the event, competitors must have a rear-wheel-drive car and a valid road driver’s licence. They and any potential passengers must also be wearing suitable footwear, meaning no sandals or slippers. Shorts are also not allowed as the legs must be fully covered. General entrance will be completely free to the public. Those looking for VIP access to the venue can enter for BD10. The Ramadan Drifting Challenge is being organised by BIC. Following the huge success of round one, plenty more action is expected in the succeeding events.
