This March, Formula One roars into Bahrain with the return of the Bahrain Grand Prix. To celebrate, Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay has arranged two high-octane pre-race parties that offer the perfect warm-up for the kingdom’s biggest sporting event.

Now in its 15th edition, the Bahrain Grand Prix is the second of 21 races that make up the 2019 FIA Formula One World Championship, and will bring the world’s greatest drivers to the Middle East for an action-packed weekend of motorsports at Bahrain International Circuit. For fans who wish to kick-off race weekend in style, all roads lead to Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay.

Richard Raab, general manager of Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay, said: “The enduring appeal of motorsports has installed the Bahrain Grand Prix as one of the highlights of the Kingdom’s social calendar. At Four Seasons, we always aim to prepare something extra-special for the occasion; our Formula One parties have become an annual tradition, as we continuously strive to raise the bar by delivering outstanding entertainment, unique food and beverage offerings and legendary Four Seasons hospitality. We look forward to welcoming fans for what is sure to be a wonderful weekend of sport and camaraderie.”

The festivities get underway on Thursday night, when Four Seasons will partner with the award-winning London club brand Cirque le Soir to throw Manama’s hottest pre-race party. This elegant soirée will take place in the convivial surroundings of The Beach at Four Seasons, the Hotel’s lively waterfront destination.

Guests will be entertained by live performances from DJ Cossta, DJ Evo, and DJ Sami Dee. The show will also feature the acclaimed club’s top five performers on stage all night for the very first time in Bahrain, as the attentive Four Seasons hospitality team serve up a range of tailor-made snacks and beverages.

Experience a carnival of motorsports

The Formula One celebrations continue on Saturday with the Uber Luxe F1 Party by Chef Wolfgang Puck. For this year’s event, guests are invited to experience the sights, sounds and flavours of South America, as lively entertainment and culinary craftsmanship combine to create a vibrant carnivalesque atmosphere.

The themed garden party will take place on the lawn area adjacent to the Hotel, where guests will be treated to an extensive range of South American delicacies at live cooking stations, including lamb asado, sizzling street food dishes prepared over a traditional chapa grill, and the world-famous coxinhas. An energetic live band, samba dancers, and signature Brazilian blends from the Hotel’s resident mixologist set the scene for an exciting celebration of motorsports and Latin American culture.

Executive chef Brian Becher commented: “To say we are beyond excited to hold our annual pre-race lawn party is an understatement; our previous Formula One events have been the talk of Bahrain, and this year will be no exception. In keeping with our commitment to bringing our guests something fresh and unique, we are looking to Peru, Patagonia and Brazil for culinary inspiration. It’s always a pleasure for our team to put together an adventurous menu and we look forward to ensuring race fans enjoy an unforgettable event.”
