Flying the cars from Brazil to Bahrain

After the thrills and spills of the 6 Hours of Sao Paulo it was three days of hard work to pack up the cars and team equipment and prepare for the long flight to Bahrain. 

Leaving from Viracopos airport, all of the four flights, using Boeing 747-400F cargo aircraft, flew for nearly 18 hours, including a tech stop in Lagos / Nigeria, arriving in Bahrain for unloading.  The cars have started to arrive at the Bahrain International Circuit in preparation for the teams arrival.

The 6 Hours of Bahrain will take place on Saturday 29 September.
