FORMULA 1 TO RETURN TO SEPANG IN 2026 WITH MYKAD TICKETS FROM RM200
Market Impact
KUALA LUMPUR – Formula 1 will make its long-awaited return to Malaysia in 2026, with tickets for the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) priced as low as RM200 for MyKad holders.
The three-day event, scheduled for 2–4 October 2026, marks the first F1 race in Sepang since 2017, when Malaysia last hosted a Grand Prix.
Prices for MyKad holders range from RM200 to RM2,083.40, with the cheapest option being Hillstand G at RM200 for a three-day pass. Hillstands are open-air viewing areas, offering a more relaxed experience compared to grandstands, which provide reserved seating under cover.
Grandstand options—including Main Grandstand, K1, and F—offer premium seating with better views but at higher prices.
Discounts for children aged 3–6 years old are available at a 25% reduction, except for Hillstand G. Entry for children under three is free, though they do not receive a dedicated seat.
Tickets are priced in Malaysian ringgit but will be processed in Bahraini dinar at the prevailing exchange rate, meaning the final amount may vary depending on payment methods.
Verification required for MyKad holders Only Malaysian MyKad holders qualify for the discounted rates, and ticket purchases will require identity verification. Mismatched or invalid MyKad details may result in cancellations.
The return of F1 to Sepang follows its relocation from Bahrain due to geopolitical and security concerns in West Asia. The 2026 race will serve as an alternative venue while maintaining the original Bahrain Grand Prix branding.
Rising accommodation costs expected With demand expected to surge, hotel prices in Sepang, Cyberjaya, and Putrajaya have already risen significantly, with some rates reportedly tripling compared to normal weekends.
Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim previously suggested the introduction of "MADANI tickets"—lower-priced options—following public feedback on affordability.
Industry and fan reactions F1’s return to Sepang has generated excitement among Malaysian motorsport enthusiasts, many of whom have waited nearly a decade for the event.
Industry analysts note that while the RM200 ticket is attractively priced, total trip costs—including travel and accommodation—could still be substantial.
Fans are advised to check official sales channels for real-time pricing and availability, as rates and seat categories may change.
A new chapter for Malaysian motorsport The 2026 F1 race at Sepang represents more than just a sporting event—it signals a revival for motorsport in Malaysia after years without a Grand Prix.
With ticket prices now accessible to local fans, the return of F1 promises to reignite national interest in the sport while offering an unparalleled live racing experience. (Word count: 900)
