The first qualifying session of the new championship campaign. Who would take the first pole position? That was the buzzing question passed amongst all as the Bahrain International Circuit was groomed to perfection to host the 30–45-minute afternoon event.
These were the participating drivers in this qualifying activity. Since they were the first drivers to jump into action, it was presumed that they were subsequently the main drivers who would represent their respective teams throughout the year:
Alpine Swiss F1— Józef Konarski and Yokouchi Yūichirō
Bueseno Velocità— Davide DiMarco and Jimmy Damgaard
Haddock Racing— Ailbeart Moireach and Denko Rutherford
Iberia Grand Prix— Hank Rice and Mikhail Petrov
Jackson Racing— Albert Derstappen and Buoso Di Renzo
