Its chairman, Datuk Mokhzani Mahathir said the target was also based on the total turnout of 120,000 spectators recorded at the last grand prix hosted by SIC.
"I expect a turnout of nearly 100,000 on the last day on Sunday. In the last edition, nearly 60,000 spectators turned up on the last day," he told reporters after the launch of the 2010 Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix 2010 here Thursday.
The two local teams are Lotus F1 Racing, backed by three businessmen, namely Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes, Datuk Kamarudin Meranun and S.M Nasarudin S.M Nasimuddin, and Mercedes GP Petronas.
Mokhzani said the Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix 2010 would start at 4pm, one hour earlier than the previous edition.
He said the time still suited viewers in Europe, who would be following the live telecast.
Present were Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek, Petronas adviser Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Petronas president Tan Sri Hassan Merican.
