# 8 Hours of Bahrain

The 8 Hours of Bahrain (previously 6 Hours of Bahrain) (بطولة ست ساعات في البحرين) is a sports car race that is held at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir, Bahrain. It was created for the FIA World Endurance Championship, and was held for the first time on 29 September 2012 as the sixth round of the 2012 World Endurance Championship. The creation of the race led to controversy, as the date for the inaugural race clashed with the 2012 Petit Le Mans.

## 2021 Double-header

On 7 July 2021, the ACO announced that the fifth round of the 2021 FIA World Endurance Championship in Fuji had been cancelled due to the travel restrictions related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and replaced by an additional 6-hour race in Bahrain on 30 October. The original 8 hour race would also be brought forward from 20 to 6 November, creating the first double-header in the championship's history.
