May 12 (GMM) Malaysia could join F1 newcomer Singapore in hosting a floodlit night race as early as next season.
"Night races are among the new conditions in the contract," said the Sepang circuit's chairman Datuk Mokhzani Mahathir yesterday, according to the newspaper Straits Times.
It is reported that negotiations with Bernie Ecclestone for the new contract, ensuring the grand prix near Kuala Lumpur until 2015, were recently concluded, and it should be signed within a few weeks.
Mokhzani also played down Malaysia's widely-reported objections to the staging of a second F1 race in the region.
He said: "For Malaysia, the races will be held at the beginning of the season, while Singapore will have its towards the end of the season."
