The Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) unveiled plans for the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2020 with a spellbinding 7D hologram experience.
It was open to the public near The Avenues –Bahrain from Thursday to Saturday in the lead up to the March 19 to 22 racing bonanza.
The 7D hologram, a spectacular live experience never seen before in the Middle East, was the first of many experiences under this year’s F1 race theme of “Light it up,” which will also include several iconic buildings around the BIC lit up during Formula 1 season’s first night race.
The March race is the biggest and most sought-after event in the region staged each year at “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East.” In addition to the Grand Prix, the FIA Formula 2 Championship, FIA Formula 3 Championship and Porsche Sprint Challenge Middle East will entertain fans at the event.
Amongst the entertainment announced so far is world-renowned DJ Afrojack in addition to a slew of thrilling rides for the entire family, including the adrenaline pumping carousel-type ride “Ghost Rider”.
BIC chief executive Shaikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa told GulfWeekly: “We wanted to give Bahrain a taste of our “Light it up” experience that is planned for the F1 race. This year, we hope to offer visitors the best package yet. Not only are there three additional races, we also have the Ghost Rider, which is one of the most thrilling rides ever.
“The goal for us this year is to also promote the event locally and to make BIC a part of the various clubs and societies on the island. We wanted to be part of the local events, starting last year with the TribFest and we want to be part of more events this year.”
