Sepang mulls full or partial resurfacing following MotoGP complaints
SEPANG: Sepang International Circuit (SIC) will be temporarily closing down the track to conduct resurfacing works following complaints from MotoGP riders during the Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia which concluded yesterday.
Sepang International Circuit (SIC) will temporarily close the track for resurfacing works following MotoGP rider complaints from the Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia. SIC CEO Azhan Shafriman Hanif revealed they have yet to decide whether the track will undergo a full or partial resurfacing depending on the post-GP report from MotoGP and the FIM.
The focus will be on the areas reported by the riders. SIC had previously resurfaced the track from turn seven to turn 12 in recent years and plans to conduct remedial works before the MotoGP shakedown and pre-season test in January. The Middle East conflict has affected material costs and logistics, leading to the decision to mill the track instead of full resurfacing.
