The 2015 Bahrain Grand Prix was the second round of the 2015 Superleague season and took place on the Bahrain International Circuit, Sakhir, on 12th March 2015.

Philipp Puschke confirmed Vod:Bul's great pace by scoring his first Superleague pole position and the team's first pole since re-entering the Career Ladder. However, it was reigning champion David Fidock who pipped Puschke to the win, by just 1.5 seconds. It was Fidock's first win in four races and, significantly, Hawkeye Racing celebrated its first official win ever, after previous victories by Harley Hamnett in 2014 were revoked following his exposure for cheating.

Alex Cooper did well to restore Midnight's prestige by finishing third, following a difficult opening round for the team in Australia. It was a bad day for CSG Racing however. Australia winner Lewis Redshaw was penalised for punting another competitor, being demoted down the order after the race to 8th, while team-mate and double-champion Lukas Euler missed qualifying completely, having to start the race from the back of the grid. Euler did well to recover to what was sixth at the chequered flag, but was heavily penalised for failing to submit his rF_Scan report, seeing him demoted to 11th. It would be the great champion's final race.

Redshaw's misfortune saw Puschke and Fidock jump ahead of him, with Puschke taking the championship lead in only the second race of his first full season in Superleague.

Further down the field, Jason Muscat filled in for Gergo Baldi at Hawkeye; Menno Klont covered for compatriot Roy Schroten at Woods, in what would be Schroten's only absence during the season; and league veteran Adam Rouse drove his one and only race of the season at Kernow, in place of Bart De Vos.
