2009 Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 24.25.26 April 2009

Roadgrip were delighted to be part of the team at the Bahrain International Circuit preparing the venue for the 4th race of the year.

Primarily we were there to apply Arabesque Patterns to 4 of the Run Off areas which brought superb colour and character to the Circuit. The final product saw “Bahrain” written in Arabic on two of the most prominent turns, and two areas of Arabesque Pattern on the Oasis Straight and on the penultimate turn. Formula One Management (FOM) commented on how the BIC Management had transformed the Circuit into a real spectacle.

The final product was a team effort between BIC Management, Roadgrip and Interstate. The design was translated into Real-time Co-Ordinates resulting in over 3000 points being set out by GPS over 7 days to precisely replicate the approved design on the ground.

In addition to the Run-Off designs, Roadgrip assisted the local team in painting Buildings, Drainage Ironwork, Barriers and other areas of the track including the Kerbs, Edge Line, Pit Lane and the BIC Logo at the entrance to the Paddock.

The works were completed over a 7 week period with a 3 man team supplemented with local labour.

Roadgrip wish to thank BIC for their help and enthusiasm in making this a hugely successful project.
