The story

Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia in Sepang

The Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia brings MotoGP to the Sepang International Circuit, which hosted the series annually from 1999 through 2020 and returned to the calendar for later editions including 2026, when the race runs October 30 to November 1 as round 20 of the season. Riders including Bagnaia, Marquez and Quartararo compete on one of motorsport's most technically demanding circuits, with free entry to all seating zones on the opening Friday.

Sepang International Circuit, built south of Kuala Lumpur near the international airport, became a fixture of world championship motorsport almost immediately after its completion, hosting the Malaysian motorcycle Grand Prix annually from 1999 through 2020 and continuing to host later editions including the 2026 race.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Sepang is widely regarded within MotoGP as one of the calendar's most physically demanding circuits, combining long high-speed straights with technical corner sequences in tropical heat and humidity that test rider stamina as much as machine performance

02

The mystery stays covered

Valentino Rossi's record of seven wins here, and Honda's record 34 manufacturer victories, give the venue a layered competitive history spanning more than two decades of the sport's biggest names

03

The city starts moving

Offering free entry to all seating zones on the Friday practice day lowers the barrier for first-time attendees to experience a world championship race weekend before committing to paid tickets for qualifying and race day
