How to get to the circuit?

The most convenient way is to use the free shuttle buses provided for ticket holders from major hotels and designated hubs in Manama. Alternatively, taxis and rideshare services like Uber and Careem are readily available, though traffic can be heavy on race day.

Book your accommodation in Manama early, as hotels fill up quickly. For the best view of the action and the start/finish, the Main Grandstand is a must, but the Turn 1 (University) Grandstand offers some of the best overtaking views.
