Bahrain International Circuit witnessed a spectacular weekend of racing with the first two races of the Maserati Trofeo JBF RAK series taking place as the headline act of Speed Weekend.
In the first race, Monaco-based Cedric Sbirrazzuoli lead from the grid and took the chequered flag in style some 16seconds ahead of second placed Patrick Zamparini from Italy. Zamparini had been chasing hard throughout the 30-minute race, but dropped time in the later part of the session as the technical circuit took its toll on the tyres.
Sheikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa, CEO of Bahrain International Circuit, took the final step on the podium after a faultless race finishing 30.409secs behind the pace-setter.
But it was the second race of the day that delivered the most thrilling action out on the challenging 2.55km Inner Circuit configuration of Bahrain's Formula One track.
