Bahrain set for first electric motorsport championship

Bahrain will play host to its first-ever electric motorsport event in December, and is set to host a number of international and local championships in the upcoming season at the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC).

The Rotax MAX Challenge (RMC) Grand Finals will take place in Bahrain between December 11 and 18, attracting 380 karting drivers from 75 countries and more than 3,000 team members and guests. Of these racers, 18 will vie for the inaugural RMC E-Kart champion title.

The RMC Grand Finals is part of a packed calendar at the BIC, including a Formula 1 grand prix, World Endurance Championship (WEC) double-header and the first-ever Bahrain ProAm 1000.

“It is a new season of great excitement; a mixture of new events and experiences, new racing championships, big international races, major karting events, as well as many of our established popular activities,” said BIC chief executive Shaikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa.
