Watching the F1 in Sepang this weekend? KLIA urges visitors to ditch cars, use public transport

KLIA advises F1 visitors to use public transport due to expected high traffic and limited parking during the event at Sepang International Circuit from October 2 to 4.

Free shuttle services from KLIA Terminal 2, KLIA Long Term Car Park, and Mitsui Outlet Park KLIA will be available for F1 attendees.

Passengers are urged to check traffic advisories and allow more travel time, as PDRM will enforce traffic diversions during the event.

PUTRAJAYA, Oct 1 — Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is advising visitors attending the Formula 1 (F1) Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2026 at Sepang International Circuit (SIC), from October 2 to 4, to use public transportation, as a significant increase in traffic and vehicle movements is expected throughout the race weekend.

In a statement today, KLIA said parking at KLIA Terminal 1 and the KLIA Long Term Car Park is extremely limited and is expected to reach full capacity early each day.

“More than 200,000 spectators are expected at SIC over the three-day event, with daily crowds anticipated to exceed 100,000. Race-goers are strongly advised not to drive to KLIA with the intention of parking there to travel to SIC, and to plan alternative arrangements.

“Visitors are encouraged to plan their journeys in advance and use Express Rail Link (ERL) services, including KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit, as well as e-hailing services to arrive at KLIA Terminals 1 and 2,” it said.

The airport said free shuttle bus services to SIC will be available for F1 visitors from KLIA Terminal 2, KLIA Long Term Car Park and Mitsui Outlet Park KLIA.

KLIA also reminded passengers travelling by air during the F1 weekend to allow additional travel time when making their journey to the airport, as heavy traffic is expected on major roads leading to KLIA.

According to KLIA, Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) will be implementing traffic diversions from 8am to 11pm daily during the three-day event, and road users are urged to use alternative routes where directed.

“Passengers are encouraged to check the latest traffic and travel advisories from KLIA, PDRM and SIC before commencing their journey,” it said.

KLIA said it will continue to work closely with the relevant authorities and stakeholders to facilitate traffic flow and prioritise the smooth movement of passengers during the race weekend.

In July, F1 confirmed Malaysia as host of the Gulf Air Bahrain GP from October 2 to 4, following an agreement between Formula 1, the International Automobile Federation (FIA) and governments of Malaysia and Bahrain.

The agreement keeps the Bahrain GP on the 2026 F1 calendar after the race had been cancelled earlier this season due to geopolitical tensions in West Asia.

Malaysia previously hosted the Malaysian GP at Sepang from 1999 to 2017 before the race was dropped from the F1 calendar. — Bernama

由于预计10月2日至4日雪邦国际赛道举办F1赛事期间交通拥堵且停车位有限，吉隆坡国际机场建议F1观众使用公共交通工具。

F1 观众可享受从吉隆坡国际机场 2 号航站楼、吉隆坡国际机场长期停车场和吉隆坡国际机场三井奥特莱斯购物中心出发的免费接驳服务。

吉隆坡国际机场今天发表声明称，吉隆坡国际机场1号航站楼和吉隆坡国际机场长期停车场的停车位极其有限，预计每天很早就达到饱和。

预计为期三天的赛事期间，将有超过 20 万名观众涌入雪兰莪国际赛道 (SIC)，每日观众人数预计超过 10 万人。强烈建议赛车爱好者不要驾车前往吉隆坡国际机场 (KLIA) 并打算在那里停车后再前往雪兰莪国际赛道，而应提前做好其他交通安排。

机场方面表示，将为从吉隆坡国际机场 2 号航站楼、吉隆坡国际机场长期停车场和吉隆坡国际机场三井奥特莱斯购物中心前往新加坡国际机场的 F1 游客提供免费穿梭巴士服务。

吉隆坡国际机场也提醒在F1周末期间乘飞机前往机场的乘客，由于通往吉隆坡国际机场的主要道路预计会出现严重交通拥堵，因此请预留额外的出行时间。

据吉隆坡国际机场（KLIA）消息，马来西亚皇家警察（PDRM）将在为期三天的活动期间，每天上午8点至晚上11点实施交通管制，并敦促道路使用者按照指示使用替代路线。

“我们鼓励乘客在出行前查看吉隆坡国际机场、马来西亚皇家警察和新加坡国际航空公司发布的最新交通和旅行建议。”声明中写道。

吉隆坡国际机场表示，将继续与相关部门和利益相关者密切合作，以促进交通畅通，并优先保障赛事周末期间乘客的顺畅通行。

7 月，一级方程式赛车 (F1) 确认马来西亚将作为 10 月 2 日至 4 日海湾航空巴林大奖赛的举办地，此前一级方程式赛车、国际汽车联合会 (FIA) 以及马来西亚和巴林政府达成了协议。

该协议确保巴林大奖赛继续保留在 2026 年 F1 赛历上。此前，由于西亚地缘政治紧张局势，该赛事在本赛季早些时候被取消。
