A rare Saturday race will open the new Formula 1 world championship this weekend.
The 2024 F1 season will begin with the Bahrain Grand Prix. Along with the following race in Saudi Arabia next week it is being held on a Saturday to avoid clashing with Ramadan.
Formula 2 and Formula 3 will also be in action at the Bahrain International Circuit, holding two races each.
Meanwhile in Qatar the World Endurance Championship will burst into life at the Losail International Circuit, with a new event covering 1,812 kilometres.
