The Bahrain International Circuit has just launched a major new initiative asking the public to send them thoughts and suggestions about how the venue can be improved.

The track's government affairs and public relations director Shaikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa said: "The circuit has launched this project to pave the way for the public to interact with BIC officials. Circuit officials were keen to provide the public with an opportunity to take part in this national project.

"The BIC first and foremost is a national project that Bahrainis and Arabs should be proud of. There were many instances where we received calls from spectators who wanted to provide comments. Based on this, we decided to set up a dedicated e-mail address and team that can absorb comments and ideas for the benefit of the circuit."

Any comments about the track, or ideas to make it better, can be e-mailed to ideas@bic.com.bh. The project is running until next January.
