The last time the Sepang International Circuit hosted the prestigious sport of Formula One was in 2017 since its introduction to the country in 1999.

Despite not being revved up by the roar of F1 engines for quite some time, the circuit still remains a favorite among some drivers, besides being a common mention on social media every time the name Sepang International Circuit is brought up.

Berita Harian reported that the President of the Motorsports Association of Malaysia (MAM), Tan Sri Mokhzani Mahathir, revealed that the sport could be reintroduced at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit, but emphasized that something fresher needs to be introduced.

Among the changes that could be made is to host races at night.

He also revealed that several F1 teams currently competing are excited at the prospect of the race being brought back to the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit.

“Perhaps if we have the opportunity to be organizers once again, we need to make a difference. F1 is no longer just about watching 20 cars race on the track, it is more than that now.

“We need complementary events to enhance the Grand Prix races both on the track and in the capital during race week. Conferences and concerts have now become part of the F1 race week.

“We could also organize races at night using lighting and it would be cooler. Bahrain has already done this from day races to night races and it proves that it is not impossible to do.”

However, Mokhzani emphasized that reorganizing F1 in Malaysia is not an easy task as it requires very high costs.
