RaceDepartment will be showing a live stream from second round of the Formula One supporting 2017 TCR International Series at the Bahrain International Circuit on Saturday and Sunday April 15th - 16th.
Following the incredible season opening race weekend at the Rustavi International Motopark in Georgia, the cars and drivers head off to the Kingdom of Bahrain for round three and four of the 2017 season.
With a shock victory for the previously unfancied GE-Force Alfa Romeo Giulietta and mystifying struggles of the Honda army, the form book could well and truly be thrown away heading into Bahrain. Pre season championship favourites Jean-Karl Vernay and James Nash will be keen to bounce back after a low key season opener, as will touring car veteran Gianni Morbidelli in the West Coast Racing team as the former Grand Prix star looks to recapture the form that took him to the top of several international touring car championships over recent years.
With typically hot and dry weather due to greet the drivers this weekend in stark contrast to the inclement conditions at Rustavi last time out, this event could be the first true opportunity to see where the best form lays ahead of the remainder of the 2017 TCR International Series.
Qualifying: Saturday April 15th - 8:00 GMT / 09:00 BST / 10:00 CET
Rounds 1 and 2 at Rustavi International Motopark, Georgia.
