Formula One is all set to roar into action in Bahrain next week in its highly anticipated ‘new era’ with F1 Aramco Pre-Season Testing 2026 taking place at Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) in Sakhir.
‘The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East’ will be hosting two three-day sessions of the F1 tests – first from next Wednesday to February 13 and then from February 18 to 20.
With a host of transformative new regulations and an 11th team joining the grid in the upcoming 2026 FIA F1 World Championship, the six days of testing will be the first chance for F1 fans in the kingdom and around the world to witness in person the next generation of F1 cars on track ahead of the start of the new campaign.
F1 enthusiasts will be able to access the tests on the last two days of each three-day session, including on February 12 and 13 and on February 19 and 20. Tickets cost BD10 per day for adults and BD5 per day for children.
There is also free access on both open days of the second Bahrain test on February 19 and 20 for all who purchased their tickets to the F1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2026 during BIC’s Early Bird promotion. This means that fans who had bought tickets before September 8 last year will have access to both public days of the second test.
To buy tickets or to get more information, visit the circuit’s official website bahraingp.com or call the BIC Hotline on +973-17450000.
