Late start for the Malaysian GP

Wednesday 28th January 2009

The start to this season's Malaysian GP has been delayed to 5pm local time, according to the FIA.

There had been talk last year about Malaysia joining Singapore in hosting a night race, however, the Sepang bosses were against the idea due to the cost of setting up the lighting system.

Instead a compromise has been reach whereby the race will start at 5pm local time, which means the grand prix will begin at 9am GMT.
