The Bahrain Grand Prix is a Formula One Championship race which first took place at the Bahrain International Circuit on April 4, 2004.
The Bahrain Grand Prix, sponsored by Gulf Air, made history as the first Formula One Grand Prix to be held in the Middle East. In the run-up to the inaugural Bahrain Grand Prix, some were concerned about the potential for terrorist attacks to take place. However, these fears proved to be unfounded as the event passed off without a hitch, the only threat coming from the cars themselves, as they exploded in the heat of the desert.
