The stage is set for another gruelling test of motor racing prowess as the second round of the 2018/2019 Bahrain Karting Enduro Championship (BKEC) takes place tomorrow at Bahrain International Karting Circuit (BIKC) in Sakhir.

The participants include Bapco Engineering, Bapco Lubes, Bapco Motorsports, GO Bahrain, Racing Bahrain, Racing Bahrain Jr, Ithmaar Bank, Ice Racing, Pedal to the Metal, Redline Racing and Redline Racing 1.
Racing will take place along BIKC’s 1.414-kilometre Commission Internationale de Karting (CIK) Track. The drivers will be behind the wheel of identical 390cc Sodi GT4R go karts.
Sign-in for competitors tomorrow is scheduled to be held from 7.30am to 9am. A drivers’ briefing will then be held at 9.05am, after which the on-track action begins with Qualifying Practice at 9.50am.
Final Qualifying follows at 10.45am, setting the stage for the six-hour race, which is scheduled to flag off at 11.30am.
