This weekend, witness one of Malaysia’s largest local motorsport events at the Sepang International Circuit – for the first time, five different motorsport event genres will be hosted under one roof. The Malaysia Speed Festival (MSF) series will be having its finale event on December 2 and 3, 2017. And yes, the headline is right, there will be free grandstand access too!
This two-day event will include door-to-door car races with up to 170 cars, a car and superbike track day, a drift challenge, a time attack challenge and a car show – yes, all these at one place. The event is also spectator friendly with all-day F&B and even a water park for the children on the final day.
On December 2, you will be able to catch the MSF Track Day for superbikes and cars as they practice their driving and riding skills on the full track, or simply carry out tests on their machines. There will also be a MegaLAP Time Attack challenge where competitors will fight to set the fastest possible lap time in various categories.
At the same time, the MSF Drift Gonzo will see drifters challenge each other in a target drift course which is unlike the usual drift events held in Malaysia. This event will also see the participation of Malaysia’s only disabled drifter, ‘Pak Busu.’
For those who prefer to feast yours eyes on beautiful and unique display cars, there is the MSF x McClubz Showdown car show happening throughout the day featuring classic cars, tuned machinery and more. To top it all off, the day will end with an evening BBQ session. For the spectators, entry via the grandstand will be completely free, while paddock passes will cost RM10.
The action continues the next day on December 3 with a second round of the MSF Track Days for cars and the action-packed MSF Racing Series. The AAM-sanctioned MSF Racing Series the biggest car racing event in terms of participation in the country, with 170 cars racing in one day.
These cars will race in 11 different categories ranging from categories with slower cars, to higher powered cars with the capability of lapping the circuit at 2 mins 19 seconds – a record set by a Honda Civic EG under the Race Car Open category. Day 2 will also feature the inclusion of the Caterham Motorsport support race.
For the public, access to the grandstand will also be free, and there will the addition of a inflatable water park for children. If you want to get closer to the heat, you can purchase paddock passes from as low as RM20 if purchased before 11am, or RM35 for purchases after 11am.

For its entry price, it puts F1 to shame in terms of pipu engagement.
This will be fun. I will go for it….oh wai
Yeah, if u wanna see racing, i mean real mano-e-mano, no tech advantage or team orders bollocks, pure racing between the drivers, then u really shud come down and watch. Its very value for ur money, only RM 10.
Aiyo John. The target audience is different. And budget wise, probably the cost of one F1 tyre can get you a used Proton Saga, plus performance upgrades.
Meaning for the cost of that Saga with perf upgrades, I get a better race satisfaction than one whole F1 car? Okay…
Yes, why not? Buy an old Saga and put in a few upgrades, and off you go!
I only got to go as far as go kart races. The next step perhaps.
