Why go to the 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix?

Few races on the calendar have more intrigue surrounding them than the season-opening event, which takes place in Bahrain for the fourth consecutive season in 2024. What will the competitive order look like? Who will get the best start to the year? And which teams will find themselves on the back foot? The 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix is where all the talking stops and the real action begins!

Bahrain International Circuit has been home to many memorable duels over the years since switching to a night race setup in 2014. The switch has made spectating more comfortable for fans, avoiding the hot daytime desert temperatures. Spectator numbers are on the rise in Bahrain but are still some of the lowest of the season, meaning there’s a much more relaxed atmosphere trackside than at some of the other bigger-attended events.

Where to watch the action at Bahrain International Circuit

The Turn 1 Grandstand is a great place to see some overtaking, while the Victory Grandstand offers views of the final corner. Note that the former ‘Oasis’ grandstand was renamed ‘Batelco’ for 2023 and is now named ‘Beyon’.
