APRIL 2014
The first corner of Bahrain
International Circuit (BIC) will be
named after seven times Formula One
champion Michael Schumacher. The
iconic motor sport venue is honouring
Schumacher as part of its 10th
anniversary, which will also be the BIC’s
first Formula one night race on April 6,
2014. Schumacher, who won the
inaugural Bahrain Grand Prix in 2004,
still holds the Bahrain lap record. He
also has strong connections with the
BIC outside of his participation in
racing and was directly involved in the
early stages of BIC’s development,
offering his own input into the design
of the track, including the
layout of turn one.
