“Due to popular demand, we decided to extend the Early Bird promotion to January 31 so that fans of the Formula One will be able to take advantage of the discount,” said Sepang International Circuit chief executive officer Datuk Razlan Razali, adding that the move to extend the Early Bird promotions is part of SIC’s on-going effort to promote the love of motorsports among Malaysians.  

“I believe that 2011 will be more exciting as we may potentially be seeing three Malaysian related F1 teams in the likes of Mercedes Petronas F1 Team, a potentially rebadged Lotus Racing Team and a possible Lotus Renault F1 Team, ” said Razlan.

With hillstand seats being offered from as low as RM30, and grandstand seats worth RM1,200 being sold at RM600, the Early Bird discount promotion is an opportunity not to be missed.
