Not enough government support for Malaysian GP
It is claimed by the CEO of the Sepang International Circuit that the Malaysian Goverment is not doing enough to promote the countries Formula One Grand Prix, with the effect of decreased ticket sales and overall interest for the event. CEO Razlan Razali says the tourism deparment has set aside Formula One, and does not allocate sufficient funding for its promotion.
Speaking to the 'News Straits Times', Razlan said, "There's only so much that we can do. We simply don't have the budget to transform Kuala Lumpur into an F1 city.
"We don't see the tourism ministry doing their part, although this is an event that has direct impact on their area and it helps them the most."
Adding, "The F1 race has been put aside."
