Grand Prix with a family theme

KUALA LUMPUR The Sepang International Circuit will host the 17th edition of Formula 1 PETRONAS Malaysia Grand Prix™ 27 to 29 March.
The grand prix is the second round of the 2015 FIA Formula 1 World Championship.
SIC chairman, Tan Sri Mokhzani Mahathir, said in conjunction with the Malaysia Year of Festival 2015 the F1 Grand Prix programme is now firmly embedded.
“This year, we are focusing on a family theme to draw people from their living rooms to enjoy the high-octane atmosphere of the circuit itself. F1 fans no longer need to choose between quality family time on a weekend and watching the race. They can now enjoy an outing with their family and friends.”
inside no 4Themed ‘Experience F1 Like Never Before’, the programme will transform the circuit and the grounds into a huge entertainment space dubbed the ‘F1 Carnival’.
It features family and children-friendly activities and carnival happenings within SIC’s premises on and off-track with a fun fair, games, amusement rides and other carnival-style attractions.
This year, SIC’s exclusive Malaysia Grand Prix Gala 2015 will showcase The Jacksons as its main act. This time, fans will be able to purchase tickets to watch the performance at the Plenary Hall, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre 26 March 2015.
Race week will feature local support races including the Malaysia Championship Series (formerly known as Malaysian Super Series), autograph sessions with drivers, a public pit walk experience and the stunning opening ceremony performance.
Fans of local motor sports will be thrilled with two support races – Round 1 of the Malaysia Championship Series (MCS) will be taking place from 27 to 29 March and the Malaysia leg of the TCR International Series on 29 March 2015.
The MCS race was formerly part of the highly popular Malaysia Super Series Championship for cars and motor bikes. It will have five races this year, from March to November.
Meanwhile, the TCR International Series, formerly the TC3 touring car series, is flagging off its first race of a 12 leg season at Sepang.
The race weekend will close on a high with the after-race concert on 29 March headlined by popular South Korean pop group SHINee and Girls’ Generation. Gates will open at 1700 after the F1 race, to allow all ticket holders to head to the Helipad at Sepang Circuit, where the concert will be held.
The two Korean pop groups will perform in rotation for two hours, from 1800 to 2000 accompanied by Korean DJ Hitchhiker. SHINee and Girls’ Generation will be joined by popular local artistes for the remainder of the concert.
Ticket prices start at RM80, with tickets ranging from RM340 to RM1,770 for seats in the main grandstand, RM440 for the tower, RM280 to RM660 for grandstands F and K1, and RM80 to RM160 for hillstand tickets.
