Bahrain Grand Prix
A rare instance of the original following the clone. Two years after Vijay Mallya’s Force India began zooming on Formula One tracks, Richard Branson’s Virgin Racing will join him at the inaugural Bahrain Grand Prix.

Also, the Commonwealth games, where Bolt may participate...and many such events..I agree with Irshad that when the FIFA WC is taking place everything else takes a backseat. However, a nice article overall and no harm in picking your favourites.
