Bahrain tickets selling well

Ticket sales in Bahrain are going well ahead of the next round of the F1 championship at the Sakhir circuit. Bahrain International Circuit officials today announced that the 34 VIP corporate lounges above the Main Grandstand are now completely sold out to blue chip regional and international clients, with maximum capacity in sight in VIP business sections of the track.  

"The growth of popularity of Formula One and motor sport in general amongst sports fans in this region since the BIC was built is extraordinary and highly rewarding to see," said Martin Whitaker, Chief Executive Officer at the BIC. "It is no less important that corporate interest is following suit, with the step-by-step increases in corporate sales that we have seen through the first four Bahrain Grands Prix taking a huge leap for 2008. Almost every key decision maker in the Middle East business community is expected in Bahrain either as a host or a guest in one of the VIP areas, underlining what an invaluable tool for commerce motor sport can be."
