Vehicles heading to Sepang International Circuit (SIC) for the Formula 1 (F1) Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix from today until Sunday will have to pass through one of five designated screening points before entering the circuit grounds. Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar said the checks will cover tickets, vehicle passes and access stickers to ensure only authorised vehicles enter the venue.
Around 200,000 spectators are expected to attend the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix, with the highest turnout anticipated on race day. To recap, the event marks Formula 1’s return to Sepang after the Malaysian Grand Prix was last held at SIC in 2017. The Bahrain Grand Prix was relocated to Malaysia this year after the original race in Bahrain was unable to take place amid geopolitical tensions in West Asia.
