It’s as if the city itself is gearing up for a race, ready to host the spectacle.
A busy schedule for the teams
The teams will have no time to rest. From 29th to 31st January, they will be at the Sepang circuit for the official shakedown, followed by a collective test from 3rd to 5th February. This is where the riders will put their machines to the test, fine-tuning every detail before the grand celebration. And then, it’s off to Kuala Lumpur for a rendezvous that is both sporting and popular, where excitement will be palpable in the air.
An immersive fan zone
