Malaysia's Formula One promoter, Sepang International Circuit (SIC) officially kicks off its domestic promotion campaign for the 2008 Formula One Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix this Friday with a unique open-air launch ceremony at the picturesque Esplanade Suria KLCC in Kuala Lumpur by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Haji Ahmad Badawi.
Marking the 10th edition of the event, SIC General Manager Datuk Azmi Murad said the event will, among others, display the 1999 Red Bull Sauber Petronas F1 car to symbolize the success story of SIC and Petronas in the sports.
"Fans will also be treated to a special video presentation of the official launch of the 2008 BMW Sauber F1 team, which was held in Munich yesterday to give first hand information on the new car.
"We hope racing fans will join us at the Esplanade to witness this historical event," said Azmi, who is also the Senior General Manager (Operations) of Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad.
First organized in 1999, the 2008 Formula One Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix marked the 10th edition of the event and would be held from March 21 to 23 as the second round of the world championship.
While the launch would feature only the 1999 car, the 2008 Formula One Roadshow, which would kick off at Mahkota Parade in Malacca next weekend, would feature the remaining F1 cars used by Petronas-sponsored racing teams until 2007.
"SIC would like to record its highest thanks and appreciation to Petronas for allowing us to use these F1 cars for the roadshows. It would definitely add more colour and substance to the roadshows," Azmi added.
After Malacca, the roadshow would move to Johor Bahru, Penang, Ipoh and the Klang Valley to woo in the Malaysian fans to the circuit for the race.
Targeting 125,000 spectators, SIC is currently offering promotional packages for ticket purchases under its 10 Thrilling Offers for the 10th Edition programme, which included one specifically designed for road show patrons.
