Motorsport fans, start your engines as a brand-new racing circuit is opening just 30 minutes from the Singapore-Malaysian Tuas checkpoint. The Sunway Circuit Iskandar Puteri is JB’s latest motorsport destination, built to world-class standards with ambitions to host major international racing events.
The circuit is designed by renowned circuit architect Hermann Tilke, who is the same mastermind behind several iconic Formula 1 tracks. The main circuit stretches 4.5km, and adheres to the stringent FIA Grade 1 and FIM Grade A specifications. This means it's capable of accommodating the fastest and most prestigious races such as Formula 1 and MotoGP.
Unlike Singapore’s Marina Bay Street Circuit, which is constructed and dismantled each year for the Formula 1 Grand Prix, the Sunway Circuit’s track is a permanent fixture.
Aside from the main track, Sunway Circuit Iskandar Puteri will also feature a 1.5km professional karting circuit, a hill climbing course, a 4×4 off-road adventure zone, and an advanced driving course for high-performance training and road safety education. Other facilities include international-standard pit buildings, paddocks, garages, media centres and VIP hospitality suites.
The main circuit is already in place, with the entire facility slated for completion by the end of 2025.
