Litar Antarabangsa Sepang (SIC) telah menjalani beberapa penambahbaikan menjelang perlumbaan MotoGP Malaysia.

Bagi memastikan kelancaran perlumbaan kali ini, SIC telah membelanjakan lebih RM30 juta untuk menggantikan bahagian bumbung yang meliputi 1.8 kilometer, menaik taraf tandas dan kawasan paddock serta memperbaiki sistem saluran.

Menurut laporan New Straits Times, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif (SIC), Datuk Razlan Razali, mendedahkan bahawa kebanyakan kemudahan yang terdapat di Litar Sepang tidak diperbaiki sejak 1999.

“Bumbung di bahagian grandstand telah pun digantikan selepas 20 tahun,” katanya.

Razlan turut menjelaskan RM9 juta telah dibelanjakan bagi naik taraf bahagian tandas.

Menurutnya lagi, lebih 80,000 tiket telah pun dijual setakat ini namun menjangkakan angka tersebut akan mencecah 100,000 menjelang hari perlumbaan, Ahad ini.

Tahun lalu, SIC merekodkan kehadiran pengunjung paling tinggi dengan 103,000 penonton.

Dato’ Razlan Razali, the CEO of Sepang International Circuit said,  “We are extremely thankful to Honda Racing Corporation for supplying us with the Honda machines for next season. Honda has proven last year and especially this year to be extremely competitive and we sincerely appreciate them delivering the bikes for our two riders in 2016.”

“Besides providing the bike for the team there is a lot more that we can do with the local Honda distributor here in Malaysia; it’s the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle for us with our involvement in the Asia Talent Cup, where all the riders are using Honda machines. With this partnership we can transfer knowledge and expertise from our Moto3 team to the Asia Talent Cup,” he added.

“We have a good connection with HRC in terms of our relationship with Sepang International Circuit and the Asia Talent Cup. With regards to performance we know the Honda is very strong and can fit well into our structure and with our riders. I’m very pleased to have this opportunity and that Honda Racing Corporation have agreed on this partnership with us,” he said.
