Malaysia has been chosen as the host of the opening race of the 2025/2026 Michelin 24H Series Middle East, which is set to take place at the Petronas Sepang International Circuit during the first week of December this year.
This will be the category’s first-ever visit to the Far East, with practice and qualifying set to take place on December 5, followed by a non-stop 12-hour race on December 6. According to Creventic, the organiser and promoter of the 24H Series, more than 20 entries have already been lodged for the inaugural Michelin 12H Malaysia.
The Michelin 24H Series Middle East category was introduced during the winter of 2022/2023 to provide teams with an opportunity to extend their racing programs into the new year. Following the first race of the 2025/2026 season in Malaysia, there will be the Michelin 24H Dubai from January 9-11 and the Michelin 6H Abu Dhabi from January 16-18.
“All of us at Creventic are absolutely delighted to be making this announcement, our first visit to Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia for the first round of the Michelin 24H Series Middle East. The track truly is one of the very best in world motorsport, and the addition of Sepang to our calendar shows the ambitions we have and how we listen intently to our competitors and teams,” said David Vink, commercial event manager at Creventic.
“Visiting Sepang is something our staple race teams from the Michelin 24H Series have been asking about for a number of years, underlining its popularity, and so we are very happy indeed to deliver this opportunity. I think we can safely say as well we will expect an incredibly strong and healthy grid for the trip to Sepang, with more than 20 entries already received,” he added.
