The race is due to be held on the 22 April so time is running out, a decision needs to be made whether its going ahead or not.
I have a feeling it will be called off at the last minute.

Since February last year, 45 people have died on Bahrain's streets. The latest victim was killed by live ammunition only last week. Hundreds of protesters gathered at the cemetery near his home outside the capital, Manama. Reports say riot police fired tear gas and stun grenades into the crowds, setting off running street clashes.

Expect there will be lots more people calling for it to be cancelled.
