The Bahrain International Racing Circuit hosts the third race of the 2008 Formula One season.
The 2004 Grand Prix of Bahrain marked the first-ever round of the FIA Formula One World Championship to be held in the Middle East. Since then, the Kingdom of Bahrain has signed a long-term deal to host the event.
Formula One is the king of motor sports. Since its inauguration in 1950, it has attracted the very best talents in the world of motor racing, hungry for the fabulous riches and unrivalled prestige it offers. As a spectacle it is unsurpassed. The sheer speed of the cars is hard to comprehend, and the noise from the track is almost deafening. It represents the pinnacle of man's motoring achievement and the epitome of his love affair with speed.
Starting in Australia, there are 17 races in the Formula One season, across four continents, ending with the big finale in Brazil. Highlights include the Monaco Grand Prix, set on the roads of Monte Carlo, and the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, where you can expect passionate support from Ferrari's fanatical Tifozi.
