It’s that time of the year again where the biggest race in Asia is about to go off and this time it’s the tenth addition of the Merdeka Millennium Endurance (MME) Race.
Organised and promoted by Sepang International Circuit (SIC), its aim is to make Sepang as the hub of motorsport activities in the region and as an effort to develop motorsport in Malaysia and the Asian region.
In commemorating this tenth celebration, some changes have been made to make the race more exciting. With the separation of the class B and C into the Sepang 1000km race (S1K), the faster main class O and A will have more grids to fill up all the way to 77 cars.
For a fair race, the class A will be split into two, A1 and A2, to separate between production supercars as A1 (Group B or GT4 or non FIA homologated production sports) and production sports and saloon cars in A2 (Group N and Group A or non FIA homologated Touring Cars).
The 77 slots on the starting grid is split into the three classes, 27 for class O, 25 for class A1 and 25 for class A2.
Also to honor the month of Ramadhan which is the fasting month for Muslims, the race date that is usually set on the last weekend of August is moved forward to the second weekend of the month which is on the 8th.
