Hafizh Syahrin, Malaysian MotoGP star in the spotlight
National hero Hafizh Syahrin, 25, has a busy schedule at the Races of Malaysia. The MotoGP rider will be at the start of the 8 Hours of Sepang but he will also make his WTCR/OSCARO debut at the wheel of a Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR in the colors of Liqui Moly Team Engstler. He will therefore be on track daily for five days at the Sepang International Circuit.
As a reminder, there is a 6 hour difference with Sepang: the start of the 8 Hours of Sepang will therefore be given at 5 a.m. French time.
