Discover Malaysia's Automotive Experiences

Malaysia is one of Southeast Asia's most established motorsport nations — a country anchored by one of Asia's most important circuits. Sepang International Circuit hosted F1 from 1999 to 2017 and MotoGP from 1999 to 2022, giving Malaysia some of the best racing weekends in the region for over two decades. Both have since left, but Sepang remains a major regional venue for endurance racing, Super GT, and motorcycle racing.

The heritage runs through Proton, the country's national car manufacturer. Founded in 1983, Proton became a source of national pride and produced the Saga, the Wira, and eventually the Satria GTi — a hot hatch that built a serious enthusiast following across Southeast Asia. Kuala Lumpur's modified import scene runs strong on Japanese platforms and locally-produced Protons. And the driving country opens up off the North-South Expressway — the climb up to Genting Highlands, the run through the Cameron Highlands, and the coastal road along the east coast are the country's release valves.
