The recent 2024 Petronas Grand Prix Malaysia at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) set a new attendance record with 184,923 spectators over the three-day event. 

The breakdown saw 34,388 attendees on Friday (1 Nov), 51,786 on Saturday (2 Nov), and 98,749 on race day Sunday (3 Nov), surpassing last year’s 182,912 total. However, the all-time record for Sunday attendance, 103,850 set in 2019, remains unbeaten. 

The turnout highlights the strong support from local and international fans, making it one of the most successful MotoGP events in the region.

SIC CEO Azhan Shafriman Hanif, as reported by Bernama, expressed satisfaction with the results but stressed the aim to increase attendance even more next year.

“We were targeting 200,000 this year though to get almost 185,000 here is still a good result. Our stakeholders are happy with the event, everything went smoothly,” Shafriman said. 

He noted improved ticket sales thanks to strategic promotions. “The trend now is to implement decreasing discounts where, for example, we begin with a buy one free one promotion and gradually decrease the discounts in the run-up to the event. This is something we will look to implement next year,” Shafriman added. Corporate ticket sales, while showing growth, will also be a focus for next year’s efforts. 

Shafriman highlighted partnerships with ticket agents across countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, and Europe to enhance international attendance. 

A significant highlight of the event was Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim attending his first MotoGP race, further boosting the event’s profile. The affordable “Rahmah” ticket sales at RM49.90 contributed to the turnout, especially for the K2 Hillstand, which was notably popular despite being uncovered and without seating.

On the development of local talent, Shafriman mentioned that SIC is open to offering the circuit for training to Malaysian riders at minimal costs, covering only security and marshal fees. 

“I promise all Malaysian riders, whoever wants to train here can just contact us… the rental for the circuit is free,” he said. He specified that safety protocols would separate smaller bikes like ‘kapcai’ from larger ones.

This record attendance not only reinforced Malaysia’s reputation as a key MotoGP destination but also brought a significant boost to the country’s tourism sector. Fans’ enthusiastic participation confirms the event’s status as a highlight on the MotoGP calendar, with expectations for continued success in future editions.
