Prices start from QR 2,455 for four night, five day packages inclusive of: return Economy Class ?ights, four nights accommodation in a three hallmark hotel on a room only or bed and breakfast basis each morning, meet and greet service on arrival, return seat in coach transfers from Bahrain International Airport to hotel, return seat in coach transfers from hotel to Bahrain International Circuit and tickets for the Victory Grandstand on all three days of the Grand Prix. Seats can also be arranged for the University Grandstand, Turn 1 Grandstand, Main Grandstand or Oasis Grandstand, informs an official release.
 
 
World champion Michael Schumacher, who had a tough time with the opening races, is planning a fight back in Bahrain with his new Ferrari car. Meanwhile, Team McLaren Mercedes confirmed that Juan Pablo Montoya wouldn’t take part in the 2005 Bahrain Grand Prix due to an injury he sustained. The Colombian’s place will be taken by Spanish reserve driver Pedro de la Rosa.
