Each meeting brings several local championships together on one day at Sakhir, giving local drivers and riders a regular place to compete through the winter.

The 2026-27 circuit racing season includes the Bahrain Touring Car Challenge, the Bahrain Motorcycle Championship and Time Attack, a race against the clock in which competitors are ranked on their lap times. The Federation calendar lists rounds on 30 October, 14 November, 28 November and 11 December 2026, then 15 and 29 January 2027, with reserve dates in April.
