Litar Sepang ditutup mulai 7 Sept untuk kerja baik pulih

The Sepang International Circuit (SIC) will undergo a complete shutdown starting from September 7th, 2026, to facilitate maintenance, repairs and upgrades in preparation for the upcoming Formula One (F1) Grand Prix Bahrain, scheduled from October 2nd to 4th. Malaysia will host the prestigious event, aiming to present the country in the best possible light.

Malaysian Sports and Youth Affairs Minister Taufiq Johari revealed that the works involve not only the race track itself, but also other facilities such as spectator accommodation, toilets, and all related elements. Currently, renovation activities are underway, with the entire circuit slated to be closed on September 7th, 2026.

Foreign visitors will not be able to lease the circuit, as maintenance work will be carried out, according to a statement from The Star after he contributed to the Elite Media Club in Sungai Petani.

The parent body, technical and small committees comprising eight to nine branches have already been established to ensure a smooth preparation process. So far, a contract between SIC and Bahrain International Circuit has been finalized, covering ticket sales, parking, and other comprehensive aspects. Additionally, the protocol, international, consular, and all related agencies have been coordinated to streamline the application process.

The minister believes that the F1 event will have a positive economic impact on the population during the three-day event from October 2nd to 4th.
