The 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship reaches a dramatic climax in Bahrain on Saturday 21 November with eight of the eleven titles still to be decided. The 6 Hours of Bahrain will be a head-to-head battle between the no17 Porsche crew of Mark Webber, Brendon Hartley and Timo Bernhard and the no7 Audi crew of André Lotterer, Marcel Fässler and Benoit Tréluyer to decide the destination of the World Endurance Drivers’ Championship.
There is also the titanic struggle to watch between Ferrari and Porsche to decide the destination of the World Endurance Cup for GT Manufacturers and Porsche’s Richard Lietz holding off the challenge of his Ferrari rivals in the drivers’ world crown. With the LMP2 and LMGTE Am titles also still to be won, the 6 Hours of Bahrain is a race that all fans of endurance racing around the world need to watch.
The 6 Hours of Bahrain begins at 15h00 (local), which means the green flag will be waved at 13h00 in Europe, 07h00 in New York and 21h00 in Tokyo.
If you can’t join the action in person in Bahrain there are plenty of opportunities, whether it is a TV, computer screen or tablet, to watch the race live or the highlights where ever you are in the world.
