The 2014 Bahrain Grand Prix, which will be held on April 6 at the Sakhir circuit near Manama, will be staged at night, organisers announced on Friday.

Floodlighting has been installed and will be tested out at this weekend's final round of the World Endurance Championship.

The move to a night race in the Gulf state will mark the 10th anniversary of the first Bahrain Grand Prix, won by Michael Schumacher in a Ferrari in 2004, and will also be welcomed by drivers, given the high daytime temperatures in spring.

Bahrain will be the venue for Formula One's second night race, after Singapore in 2008.
