The announcement, posted on the circuit’s Instagram account, said all vehicles entering the venue must hold a valid parking pass and that passes are available on a first‑come, first‑served basis through the official Bahrain International Circuit website. Each customer may buy only one pass, which will be valid for all three days of the race weekend.
According to the Bahrain International Circuit website, fourteen parking zones are offered for the event, with prices ranging from BHD 15.08 (about RM 163) for zone 15 to BHD 75.40 (about RM 816) for zone PA1.
The published price list is as follows: PA1 BHD 75.40 (~RM 816); P2 BHD 60.32 (~RM 653); P3 BHD 60.32 (~RM 653); P4 BHD 45.24 (~RM 490); P5 BHD 30.16 (~RM 327); P6‑7 BHD 22.62 (~RM 245); P8 BHD 22.62 (~RM 245); P9 BHD 22.62 (~RM 245); P12 BHD 30.16 (~RM 327); P14 BHD 22.62 (~RM 245); P15 BHD 15.08 (~RM 163); and P17 BHD 22.62 (~RM 245).
The Instagram post noted that the PA1 zone has sold out at the time of writing.
A user who responded to the Instagram post wrote, “New life achievement unlocked. Most expensive parking fee of my life,” highlighting the premium cost of the top‑tier pass.
To accommodate spectators who prefer not to drive into the circuit, the organisers said free shuttle services will operate from four parking locations: Mitsui Outlet Park, KLIA Terminal 2, KLIA long‑term car park and Bandar Baru Enstek. Ticket holders are urged to plan their journeys carefully and arrive early to avoid peak traffic. Internal buses will circulate within the circuit to move fans between different areas.
For those arriving by taxi or e‑hailing services, the circuit has designated a drop‑off and pick‑up zone near the main entrance. The organisers advised ticket holders to use this area when entering or leaving the venue to help ease congestion.
The event marks Formula 1’s return to Malaysia after a nine‑year hiatus, and the circuit will also host two DJs on 3 and 4 October, providing additional entertainment for attendees. The organisers’ communications emphasized that early planning and use of the provided transport options will help spectators beat road traffic and enjoy the “ultimate F1 viewing experience.”
