KUALA LUMPUR: Local motorsports fans can purchase special Rahmah tickets for as low as RM49.90 from Sepang International Circuit (SIC) for the 2023 Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix (GP).
SIC chief executive officer Azhan Shafriman Hanif said 7,000 K2 hillstand tickets are on sale to Malaysian fans through online and ticketing counters from today.
“A total of 7,000 tickets are open for sale to Malaysians only, with no limit. In addition, free parking, and food and beverages under the Rahmah menu will also be introduced. This is the first time we are having such initiatives.
“We are expecting 170,000 spectators this year, compared to 164,000 last year, and we are on the right track to sell out because almost 70% of tickets have already been taken up,” he said at a media conference attended by youth and sports minister Hannah Yeoh.
The 2023 Malaysian Motorcycle GP will be held from Nov 10 to 12.
Local fans will have someone to cheer for with Puchong-born Syarifuddin Azman currently racing for the MT Helmets-MSI team in the Moto3 class, but Azhan said that, so far, no local riders would be given a wildcard.
However, he said this could change as riders have until 45 days before race day to notify race directors.
“Last year, two riders from Petronas competed in the Moto2 category, but this year I’m not sure what the plan is for wildcard (riders).
“What I can say is that if there is an opportunity, if there are sponsors like Petronas, it’s not impossible,” he said. - FMT
