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.
After a long career, 2009 F1 champion Jenson Button is calling it quits, but can he claim a win or podium in his final competitive race?
The race is due to start at 11:00 GMT on Saturday, November 8th, and last for eight hours until 19:00 GMT.
Bahrain is on Gulf Standard Time, and so is three hours ahead of GMT, meaning the race starts at 14:00 local, and finishes at 22:00 local.
