The2019 8 Hours of Bahrain, formally known as the2019 BAPCO 8 Hours of Bahrain, for sponsorship reasons, was anendurancesportscar racing event held on 14 December 2019, as the fourth round of the2019–20 FIA World Endurance Championship. This would mark the return of the FIA WEC to theBahrain International Circuit for the first time since2017, and would also be the inaugural running of the race, in an extended 8 hours format, having previously been run as the6 Hours of Bahrain.

The race was won overall by the #7Toyota TS050 Hybrid run byToyota Gazoo Racing, and driven byKamui Kobayashi,Mike Conway andJosé María López. The trio had benefited from the opening lap collision at Turn 2, between the front row starters, the #1Rebellion R13 run byRebellion Racing, and the #5Ginetta G60-LT-P1 run byTeam LNT, to take the lead from the first lap of the race, from fourth on the grid.

TheLe Mans Prototype LMP2 class was won by the #22Oreca 07 run byUnited Autosports, and driven byPaul di Resta,Philip Hanson,Filipe Albuquerque. The trio had also benefited from the opening lap chaos, with the car holding the class lead on lap one, and even running second overall at one point, but later falling down the overall order, as the LMP1s climbed their way back up above the secondary class runners during the race.

The provisional calendar for the2019–20 FIA World Endurance Championship was unveiled at the2018 6 Hours of Silverstone, featuring eight races, on five continents, starting at Silverstone in September 2019 with a four-hour race, and ending with the Le Mans 24 Hours in June 2020. It was noted that for first time in theFIA World Endurance Championship, 4 and 8 hour races would be introduced, at theSilverstone Circuit,Shanghai International Circuit, and theBahrain International Circuit, following a fan survey which was conducted by the championship^[1][2][3][4] despite there being an overwhelming preference being shown for races with durations of 6, 12 and 24 hours.^[5]

A provisional entry list was issued on the 12th of November 2019,^[6] with 31 cars split across 4 classes, with all 4 full season LMP1 entrants listed, alongside 9 LMP2 cars, up from the 8 full season cars due to the addition of the #26G-Drive RacingAurus01, with a driver lineup forJean-Éric Vergne,Roman Rusinov and Job van Uitert. The GTE Classes saw no additional cars entered, with all 6 full season GTE-Pro cars, and 11 GTE-Am cars being listed.^[7] Majority of the race seats were indicated to have been filled, with the exception of the 2Team LNTGinetta G60-LT-P1s, and the #88Dempsey-Proton RacingPorsche 911 RSR. The list also saw changes to the driver lineup for the #57Team Project 1Porsche 911 RSR, withLarry ten Voorde returning for a second race, alongsideBen Keating andJeroen Bleekemolen replacing Felipe Fraga, who would be competing in the Stock Car Brasil season finale, which clashed with the 8 Hours of Bahrain. On 26 November, Team LNT announced its driver lineup for the race, with the majority of its drivers continuing with the team, with the exception ofEgor Orudzhev, who would make way forChris Dyson, alongside a minor shakeup in the driver lineups for each car.^[8] On 10 December 2019, it was announced thatKhaled Al Qubaisi and Adrien De Leeneer would complete the lineup for the #88Dempsey-Proton Racing Porsche, replacing Angelo Negao and Will Bamber.^[9]

In LMP1, the #1 Rebellion RacingRebellion R13 would score a 2nd consecutive Pole Position, once more piping another Team LNT Ginetta to pole position. Norman Nato and Bruno Senna set an average time of 1:42.979 that put the #1 Rebellion R13 0.144 seconds clear of the #5Ginetta G60-LT-P1 of Charlie Robertson and Ben Hanley. Toyota Gazoo Racing'sToyota TS050 Hybrids occupied the second row of the grid with Brendon Hartley and Kazuki Nakajima out-qualifying their teammates from the #7 car, Mike Conway andJosé María López by less than a tenth of a second, with the average time achieved by Hartley and Nakajima in the #8 Toyota, being 0.863 seconds off the pole-sitting Rebellion. The #8 had also out-qualified the #7 in spite of the fact that it was running with a slightly larger success penalty than its sister car for the weekend. The #6 Team LNT finished 5th in the session, rounding out the LMP1 field.

In LMP2,Paul di Resta andPhilip Hanson handed United Autosports its maiden WEC pole, after setting an average lap time of 1:45.357 in the team's #22 Oreca 07. Di Resta had been the only driver to set a sub-1:45 lap time among the first set of drivers, while the silver-rated Hanson consolidated his co-driver's work, scoring the second-quickest time in the second set of drivers, resulting in the #22 United Autosports team pipping the second-placed #37 Jackie Chan DC Racing Oreca ofWill Stevens and Gabriel Aubry to pole, by 0.292 seconds. Guest entry,G-Drive Racing finished 3rd in the session, with Jean-Eric Vergne and Job van Uitert qualifying the car, with theTDS-operated car starting alongside the Shanghai winningJota Sport Oreca on the second row, whilst Cool Racing and High Class Racing would line up in fifth and sixth. The #35Signatech Alpine would lineup on the fourth row, next to the #29 Racing Team Nederland Oreca. The sole non-Oreca in the LMP2 field, the #47 Cetilar RacingDallara P217, run byAF Corse rounded out the LMP2 pack, with the car finishing nearly half a second behind the #29.^[10]

In GTE-Pro, Richard Lietz and Gianmaria Bruni finished the session on class pole, claiming Porsche's third consecutive GTE-Pro pole in2019-20 FIA World Endurance Championship. This was also the 2nd pole of the season scored by the pair, who had also sat on pole for the6 Hours of Fuji. The pair in the #91 Porsche 911 RSR combined for an average time of 1:56.485, narrowly outpacing their class championship-leading teammates in the #92,Kévin Estre and Michael Christensen by 0.060 seconds. The pair of AF CorseFerrari 488 GTE Evos qualified third and fourth, with the #51 entry of James Calado and Alessandro Pier Guidi leading the pair of Ferraris, the #51 pair still looking to bounce back following their exclusion from the 4 Hours of Shanghai. Aston Martin Racing struggled in the session, with the #95 entry ofMarco Sørensen andNicki Thiim qualifying fifth, nearly a second adrift of the pole-sitting Porsche, in what usually was a tightly spaced class, after struggling due a flat-spotted tire. The sister #97 car, would instead start last, after Maxime Martin's time was deleted due to him exceeding track limits.

In GTE-Am, Ben Keating claimed his first WEC class pole, teaming with Larry ten Voorde to bring the #57 Team Project 1 Porsche 911 RSR to the class pole. The #54 AF Corse Ferrari qualified second, followed by the #88 Dempsey-Proton Racing Porsche 911 RSR in third, the #54 preventing a Porsche front row in the Pro-Am class. The #83 AF Corse Ferrari, which is in the title battle with the #90 TF Sport, would start from fourth, after Francois Perrodo was unable to replicate the performance of his teammate Nicklas Nielsen, the Dane having put the #83 atop the running order for the class before the driver swaps.^[11][12]

The #7 Toyota Gazoo Racing Toyota TS050Mike Conway led the opening hour of the 8 Hours of Bahrain, benefiting from an incident between the two front-row cars ofBruno Senna and Charlie Robertson. Senna in the pole-sitting #1Rebellion RacingR13 and Robertson in the 2nd placed #5Ginetta G60-LT-P1 were spun around following contact between the pair, which allowed Conway to easily slip through the chaos, and swiftly take the lead of the race. During the incident, Robertson appeared to lose the rear of the #5 Team LNT Ginetta as the pack came into the Turn 2 left-hand kink, running into Senna. As both cars collided, the #5 bore most of the brunt of the impact, whileSebastien Buemi in the #8 Toyota was also caught up in the chaos, losing lost seven positions in the #8 Toyota TS050 Hybrid. The incident scattered the LMP1 field, and shuffled the order of the race, with the LMP2 class leader, the #22United Autosports Oreca 07, withPaul di Resta in second overall, as Conway sped away in the lead of the race. Second in the LMP1 class was Mike Simpson in the #6 Ginetta, who was fifth overall, while Buemi and Senna were left further behind, with Robertson losing 2 laps owing to repairs to the Ginetta. The result of the carnage at Turn 1 meant that for the first half hour of the race, the LMP2 cars ran ahead of all P1s, bar the lead Toyota. In LMP2, di Resta made the best of his pole position, leading through the opening round of pit stops from Job van Uitert in G-Drive Racing's Aurus 01.Nicolas Lapierre was third for a while for Cool Racing, but the eventually fell back during towards the end of the opening stint asAndre Negrao,Kenta Yamashita andAnthony Davidson surged past in the #35, #33, and #37 Orecas.

In GTE Pro,Alessandro Pier Guidi led the first stint in GTE-Pro after a first-corner shuffle led to pole man Gianmaria Bruni dropping four positions in his #91Porsche 911 RSR-19. Bruni was knocked out wide when Pier Guidi locked up slightly into Turn 1 and dropped down the order, asKevin Estre,Marco Sørensen, andMiguel Molina overtook him. By the end of hour one, Pier Guidi had built up a three-second gap to Estre while Bruni had charged back up to third, having overtaken Molina, before later gaining an additional place, whenSørensen brought the No. 95 Aston Martin Vantage GTE in for an early regular pit stop. Team Project 1 controlled the opening hour of the race in GTE-Am, with a 1–2, as Ben Keating in the #57 converted his pole position into a massive 15-second lead ahead of Egidio Perfetti in the #56. Third in class behind the two Porsches was the #98 Aston Martin of Paul Dalla Lana.^[14]

In the third hour of the race, Rebellion Racing lost its second place in the third hour, following a suspected driveline problem, which promoted Toyota into a commanding one-two position, which they would hold for the remainder for the race. At the time when the #1 was forced to pit, the driver at the time,Gustavo Menezes had held a 50-second gap overBrendon Hartley in the #8. While Hartley ascended into 2nd place, the Rebellion lost 3 laps, falling outside the top 10 in the process. The #6Ginetta also benefited from the suspected issue for the Rebellion, jumping into 3rd place, albeit being 1 lap down on the leading #7 Toyota, withChris Dyson having spun early on during his first stint in the car. The sister #5 Team LNT car, which had been involved in a collision earlier with the #1 Rebellion had recovered, being ahead of all of the LMP2 cars, save for the leading car in the secondary prototype class, the #22United Autosports.

In the GTE-Pro category, AF Corse'sAlessandro Pier Guidi, in the #51 Ferrari 488 GTE Evo, overtook the #92 Porsche 911 RSR ofMichael Christensen and the Aston Martin Vantage GTE ofNicki Thiim in the space of two laps, momentarily after the Rebellion incident. The #95 Aston Martin of Thiim andSørensen had been the leader for much of the race, after an early first stop which had elevated it ahead of the rest of the field, but Thiim dropped to third in the second half of the third hour, when Christensen managed to overtake him. In GTE-Am, Gulf Racing took the lead after Andrew Watson overtook Paul Dalla Lana in the factory GTE-AmAston Martin Vantage AMR GTE.^[15]

At the end of the 4th hour, the #7 Toyota ofJosé María López, who had taken over from Kamui Kobayashi, held an enormous gap over of over 1 minute against the second-placed sister #8 Toyota of Kazuki Nakajima, while Team LNT sat third with the #5 Ginetta G60-LT-P1 AER ofBen Hanley, whileGustavo Menezes had brought the #1 Rebellion R13 back to overall, having lost three laps earlier, with a suspected driveline problem. In LMP2, the #22United Autosports built up a one-minute lead in LMP2, in the hands ofFelipe Albuquerque ahead of the guest G-Drive Racing entry.

In GTE-Pro,Aston Martin Racing found itself at the head of the class, when the team elected not to stop the #97 Vantage GTE during a fourth-hour Full Course Yellow. The #92 Porsche 911 RSR of Kevin Estre, which had been second to the #51 Ferrari 488 GTE Evo prior to the FCY, suffered a setback when it suffered a damper failure, and had to been pushed into the garage, losing a handful of laps, and rejoining 27th outright. The sister car of the #92 also saw itself struck with trouble, as the #91 Porsche, then piloted by Gianmaria Bruni limped to the pits with a right-front problem and also rapidly slid down the order. This giftedAlessandro Pier Guidi the GTE-Pro lead in the #51 AF Corse Ferrari 488 GTE Evo; however, he made a stop at the end of hour four, giving AMR a 1–2, with #97 ahead of the #95. In GTE-Am, Team Project 1's #57 Porsche 911 RSR led, following Larry ten Voorde's pass on the #86 Gulf Racing Porsche ofMichael Wainwright.^[16]

Following the end of the fifth hour, the LMP1 class suffered its first casualty, with the #5 Ginetta being struck down due to a mechanical issue, grinding to a halt on the track. Its sister car, the #6 would pull into the garage at the penultimate hour, resulting in neither Ginetta making it to the end of the race.^[17]

By the end of the race, following the end of the 8th Hour, the #7 Toyota Gazoo Racing TS050 Hybrid, driven across the line byJosé María López,^[18] beat the sister #8 car to the finish by one lap, leading a 1–2 finish for the Japanese manufacturer. At the finish, the race leader was 3 laps ahead of the remaining privateer, the #1 Rebellion Racing Rebellion R13, which had enjoyed a largely trouble-free second half of the race, after a drama-filled first half, which had first seen it punted at turn 2, and a later gearbox issue which saw it make a trip to the garage.^[19] In LMP2, the #22United Autosports Oreca scored its first WEC class victory with a dominant performance from the trio ofPaul di Resta,Philip Hanson andFilipe Albuquerque. The Anglo-American team's Oreca had led for the majority of the race and reached the chequered flag 21 seconds ahead of the second-placedJota Sport car ofAntónio Félix da Costa,Roberto Gonzalez andAnthony Davidson at the finish. A Full Course Yellow with 40 minutes remaining in the race helped a number of the leading cars in the class to reach the end without needing to stop for an extra splash of fuel, with a key beneficiary being the guest #26 G-Drive Racing Aurus 01, which held onto its fourth place behind theJackie Chan DC Racing Oreca 07, driven byHo-Pin Tung,Will Stevens and Gabriel Aubry. The #36 Signatech Alpine A470 ofAndre Negrao,Pierre Ragues andThomas Laurent rounded the top 5 in the LMP2 class.^[20]

In GTE-Pro,Aston Martin Racing claimed its second GTE-Pro win of the season, in what proved to be a hard-fought race in the desert.Marco Sørensen took the #95 Aston Martin Vantage GTE across the line, holding a 13.798s lead over the #71AF CorseFerrari 488 GTE Evo of Miguel Molina, with Molina being slapped with a late-race penalty, that severely impacted the #71's chances at victory.^[21] Initially, a quicker final stop for theProdrive-run AMR team had putSørensen out front of Molina in the final hour, following what had been a race-long duel in the desert, between the two manufacturers that went down to the wire, until the final hour. It was at the final hour, where AF Corse's and Molina's victory bid fell apart, when the Spaniard was served a drive-through penalty with just over 30 minutes left on the timer, for a spinning his wheels during his final scheduled stop, effectively handing over the win to Sorensen and his co-driver Nicki Thiim. However, the #71 AF Corse Ferrari of Molina andDavide Rigon was still able deny Aston Martin Racing a 1–2 finish, withMaxime Martin rounding out the class podium in 3rd, in the #97 entry alongside co-driverAlex Lynn. Initially, it was thought that the #97 would be denied third, afterCalado in the #51 Ferrari had done an overtake from the outside of Martin, after the restart following the race's second Full Course Yellow, which occurred during the final hour. However, Calado's overtake was later reviewed by race officials, and as the overtake was deemed to have been made beyond track limits, the AF Corse driver was ordered to return the position with 20 minutes remaining on the timer. As a result, Calado and co-driver Alessandro Pier Guidi, were relegated to finishing fourth in class. The duo finished ahead of both Porsches, with the #91 Porsche 911 RSR ofGianmaria Bruni andRichard Lietz coming in fifth, falling behind the class pack in the fourth hour with a right-rear puncture, resulting in an unscheduled pit stop. The #92 Porsche, which had entered the weekend as GTE championship leaders, fell out of contention for the race win, with a left-rear damper failure just minutes before the issue on the sister car occurred. The #92 crew of Kevin Estre and Michael Christensen eventually finished sixth, and at the tail end of the Pro class, but seventh in the overall GTE classification in the race, behind the Am class #57 Team Project 1 Porsche.

In GTE-Am,Team Project 1 claimed a dominant class victory, withBen Keating scoring his first career WEC win in the #57, sharing top honors with his longtime co-driverJeroen Bleekemolen and Dutchman Larry ten Voorde. The Dutchman finished more than 30s ahead of the factory team run #98 Aston Martin Vantage GTE of Ross Gunn,Paul Dalla Lana andDarren Turner in second. The #86 Gulf Racing Porsche, meanwhile, scored its first class podium of the 2019–20 season, after a relatively consistent run to third. Initially, Keating and teammateEgidio Perfetti, from the sister #56 car had run a 1–2 formation early, until exhaust issues struck the #56 in the second hour of the race, sending it to the garage, and later tumbling down the order.

GTE-Am championship leadersTF Sport, who had been seeking a hat trick of consecutive class wins, to further build up their lead in the standings, was one of just two retirements in the Pro-Am class, with the #90 Aston Martin dropping out of the race, having suffered from a fuel starvation issue with two hours to go to the end.^[22]

Following the race, 2 time FIA World Endurance ChampionSébastien Buemi said that the #8 crew were driving the car in a "survival mode", due to damage arising from various incidents during the race, including that from the opening-lap incident, where Buemi went off-course to avoid Bruno Senna's Rebellion R13, which initially resulted in a nose change in the first pit stop. This earlier setback was compounded later in the race, when Nakajima made contact while attempting to lap a Ferrari 488 GTE car, damaging the Toyota's floor and rear deck, costing the car downforce. Toyota GAZOO Racing technical director Pascal Vasselon also admitted that a 1-2 finish had been unlikely to occur initially, due to the success ballast, and that they had benefited from the LMP1 privateer misfortunes, for the result to be achieved. He also added that the reason the team opted against changing the floor of the car was due to the length of time required to replace it, which could have potentially cost the car its 2nd-placed finish.^[23]

Also in the LMP1 class, third-place finisherBruno Senna expressed his regret at giving Charlie Robertson in the #5 Ginetta any space while the duo were at turn 2, and felt that he should have had forced Robertson off-track, which would have prevented the 2 from colliding, believing that the collision had destabilized the internal system of the cars, leading to the issue with the car's electronic shifting system, that had ultimately forced it to pit for a lengthy repair during Hour 3.Rebellion Racing team manager Bart Hayden however, appeared to disagree with his driver's opinion, stating that it was a very remote possibility, as the Electronic Shifting Motor had been on the side of the car, away from theGinetta G60-LT-P1 of Robertson. Senna's co-driver,Gustavo Menezes did not comment on the possibility of the Electronic Shifting Motor failure and the turn 2 incident being linked, although he did agree that the Electronic Shifting Motor failure had cost the team the chance of winning the race, and that without the issue, the team could have caught up on the lost time from the collision.^[24]

Meanwhile, in LMP2, High Class Racing would dropGoodyear as its tyre supplier, withMichelin to supply the team from Lone Star Le Mans onwards. The Danish team would get its first running on Michelin tyres during the post-race test.^[25]

The minimum number of laps for classification (70% of the overall winning car's race distance) was 180 laps. Class winners inbold.^[26]
