The Malaysian Grand Prix has been missing from the F1 calendar since the last race in 2017, but F1 fans want it back. The Sepang International Circuit is considered one of the best race tracks in the world, and somewhere that consistently provided great racing in F1. So why did it lose it's spot on the F1 calendar, and why hasn't it returned? Why was The Malaysian Grand Prix, abandoned by F1? Enjoy!

Man. That means you got to see Schumacher's masterclasses in 99 and 2001 in person. 🥵 This video didn't go into it, but 99 was one of Schumacher's greatest performances. He was so quick he had to let Irvine pass him twice after pitting. He pulled something like a 6 second gap in the first few laps, just to show he could, before dropping back to help Irvine in the title race. All of this on his first race back after breaking his leg at Silverstone. And 2001...well that was just bloody fun.

@asyraffahmad8307 6 месяцев назад

As former staff of Sepang International Circuit (SIC) the main problem with F1 is the ticket price. Malaysia is a developing country but the ticket price are same as developed country. Malaysian minimum wage is 385$, while the ticket cost 215$. While MotoGP ticket price are around 65$, you can see why MotoGP has full spectator.

The Malaysian government have made it perfectly clear they aren't interested in throwing money away to run a race has never made a profit just because F1 fans like it. Of course, they don't like it enough to actually go there and support it of course.

@arep7771 6 месяцев назад

@@MrSniperfox29 the main reason is because of how weak malaysia ringgit really is(compare to usd) n the monthly salary for mid n low income people range from rm1500 up to rm3500(around 320 - 750 in USD). so yea people barely able pay for that(unless u come from high class) just because theres more important n cheaper stuff to use their money on.

@hashrulsubzero 6 месяцев назад

@@arep7771 Spot on. Back in 2013, the "cheapest" ticket that I remember buying for myself was under RM100 (can't remember the exact price, maybe it was around RM60-70), and that was on the hillside view where Turn 8 is located. That was the only affordable option for me as I was just finished secondary school and I was watching it with a friend of mine who share similar interest on F1. For last MotoGP event for Sepang Circuit of 2023, the highest ticket price for the Main Grandstand (where you can see the pit) is just under RM400. It's a no wonder why a lot of Malaysians chose to go watch that (with their entourage from bike clubs of course).

As a Malaysian I’d agree that the interest for motogp was always more. But since the Netflix series, there has been a peak in interest in f1, more than ever before. I think the major reason as to why it’s so difficult to hold a Grand Prix here nowadays is the cost for the spectators. Ticket prices have just been soaring worldwide. It already became unaffordable to the average Malaysian in the 2010’s. Hope to see this track come back soon though.

Hi, I a Malaysian & attended the first race in 1999. Everybody was expecting a wet race, thus many brought raincoats. However, it was hot & blazing day and I regretted not bringing an umbrella, which would fit a rainy or sunny day. I remembered Michael Schumacher, with Mika behind him, driving so slow at every corners and sped up at straights, just to build up space between Irvine (whom is leading) and both of them. And I could clearly see Mika raising his fist, perhaps angry at Michael's antics. And the engine's sound and vibration was much better in 1999 compared to 2013 (my final attendance at Sepang). Without an earplug, or anything to plug the ear, perhaps one could be a deaf for a week.

The Singapore GP entrance to the F1 in 2008 also impacted hugely on Malaysia GP. The neighboring country, which provides easy access to the circuit (walking distance or just a few MRT train stops from many hotels as F1 Singapore race track is located in the middle of the city), more attractive night race and also host F1 concert performance by top international artists and bands means many F1 fans must pick which these two countries they want to go, especially if they are tight on the budget. Often times Singapore GP was the choice. Even Malaysian ex-Sport minister Khairy Jamaluddin admitted that Singapore GP is more attractive than F1 Sepang Malaysia

I think if it's not too near in terms of race dates with Singapore it can work specially now that F1 is so famous. If by a miracle that it will happen to be the 1st race of the season then it's a win.

I may not a malaysian but really wish a return of f1 at sepang since the track is so close to thailand and provide a wayyyy more interesting layout compare to the fia grade 1 track we have here (chang int circuit)

When I was 7 or 8, my mom gave me the opportunity to watch a race here for my birthday. I wish I took that chance looking back at it.

As a Malaysian,Although I didn't attend to F1 at Sepang because I was young AF...if they made its way back into the calendar I would definitely attend there and hear the F1 engines roaring at high speeds
