Following its successful debut in 2019, the Asia GT Festival is returning to Sepang International Circuit (SIC) for the second time from 13-15 March 2020. It is set to be Malaysia’s largest four-wheel motorsport event, expecting 300 racing vehicles over a three-day weekend.
This year, the automotive and motorsports platform will be introducing the Golden Sprint Challenge (GSC) – a brand new initiative designed to grow and promote the art of racing in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. The GSC race format will focus on all GT cars of various classes (GT3. GT4, GTM, GTC, one-made cup cars), single driver sprint race, and 15 lap night race. With this new initiative, Asia GT Festival aims to connect players from different industries by bringing in more racing events from around the region.
On top of organising the inaugural GSC, the festival will also be hosting the following races and events:
