KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 4 — The return of Formula 1 (F1) to the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) after a nine-year absence has not only delighted motorsport fans but also provided an opportunity for about 40 local traders to earn an income through the Karnival Litar Rasa Madani.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the carnival, held at the G Hillstand at SIC in conjunction with the 2026 F1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix (GP), brought together local traders offering a variety of food and beverages, including snacks and light refreshments.
He said that the lively atmosphere at the circuit also gave visitors an opportunity to enjoy local fare while watching the race and, at the same time, supporting local traders.
