Heading into the World Endurance Championship season-finale, the Hypercar drivers' title is still up for grabs.

With 39 points on offer for the winning crew, three teams are still in with a chance of the Hypercar title, with the #51 Ferrari of Alesandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi the favourites.

However, the #50 crew of Le Mans winners Robert Kubica, Yifei Ye, and Phil Hanson are also within range, as is the #6 Porsche of Kevin Estre and Laurens Vanthoor in Porsche's final WEC race before its withdrawal.

But before we get to the race, we must qualify, with the Hypercar and LMGT3 classes needing their grid slots. 

LMGT3 qualifying is due to start at 13:00 GMT on Friday, November 7th, with Hyperpole taking place shortly afterwards at 13:30 GMT. 

As soon as LMGT3 qualifying is over, the Hypercars venture out at 13:40 GMT for a 12-minute opening session. 

Hypercar hyperpole then starts at 14:00 GMT for 10 minutes.

GMT is three hours behind Gulf Standard Time, which Bahrain operates on, with LMGT3 qualifying due to start at 16:00 local, with Hypercar qualifying due for a 16:40 local start.
