Pinifarina Sigma F1 car, prototype used to test safety. Used an F1 engine of the type from the 312 F1 car

 

This thread just keeps getting better by the minute... was wondering, are these customer cars? Owned by royal family? Factory? Was wondering about that black 250 SWB... has a N.A.R.T. badge on the side... long way from home!

Also, I noticed they have Jim Glickenhaus' P 4/5 (Enzo chassis custom job) on display... so sweet.

 

The Sigma F1 car is owned by Pinifarina...all of the other cars are owned privately and were air shipped to Bahrain from the US/UK/Portugal and other European cities specially for this event. The owners accompanied the cars, and were treated to 2 track days on the Sakhir circuit on Mon and Tues after the F1 race. Just an incredible experience

 

So, after the pavilion display was set up, the crowds began to come in by the thousands over Grand Prix weekend. The enthusiasm was great to see, the Bahraini people are very jovial, polite, and positive people...it was a wonderful trip chiefly because of the people we encountered.

Here are a few pics that paint the scene for the track days on Mon and Tues on the Sakhir F1 circuit, after the race weekend.
