F1 tickets are selling at a roaring pace

Sales this year recorded a sizzling 40% increase compared to last season – an all-time high since the motor sport race was first held here in 1999.

Sepang International Circuit (SIC) general manager Azmi Murad said such encouraging ticket sales showed that Formula One racing had made its mark in Malaysia.

“Indeed, ticket sales this time around are definitely the best we’ve had in eight years," he said. "I’m very pleased with the increasing demand from locals and foreigners alike to experience the thrill of an F1 race," he said.
