Budget gears up for Bahrain Grand Prix

The team is thrilled to be part of this exciting new era for Bahrain and was out flying the flag in support of its continued success at their head office premises in the Bahrain Commercial Complex in central Manama yesterday.

Over 100 additional cars had to be purchased to cater for visitors involved in the race, such as members of visiting teams and their support staff, a number of whom are hiring cars to get them to and from the Bahrain International Circuit, Bahrain's award winning Formula One track.

Mr Jacob Thomas, commented on the increase in demand saying: "The success of last year's Bahrain Grand Prix has, without a doubt, given Bahrain a tremendous awareness boost as well as highlighting its capacity to handle top notch international sporting events. The large number of visitors enquiring about car hire again this year - even more than last year - shows us the importance to the economy that hosting such a prestigious event has."

The whole team, at head office as well as at the local branches, is supporting this Formula One fever and will be wearing branded T Shirts to add to the atmosphere strengthening the image of Bahrain's finest sporting achievement.
