Shopping, partying, racing, Guns N’ Roses at Malaysia F1 Grand Prix

Celebrating its 15th edition this year, the 2013 Formula 1 Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix will be a not-to-be-missed event for motor racing fans as it offers a massive package of world-class racing, shopping, partying, entertainment and a date with the legendary band Guns N’ Roses at Sepang International Circuit (SIC).
Slotted as the after-race concert on March 24, the concert featuring Guns N’ Roses will be opened free for all Grandstand ticket holders. Those with Hillstand tickets, however, need to pay a little more to catch the legendary rock performance, which will be staged at SIC’s Helipad Area after the race.
“The after-race concert, however, would just be only one of many attractions at this year’s event, which we aim to make as the best ever in Malaysia’s F1 history. The 2013 Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix will be a massive celebration in the city with its festivities starting as early as a month before the event.
“And, to enjoy all these festivities to the fullest, we have introduced this year a special One Ticket Unlimited (1TU) package, which will provide fans with a host of privileges for the fans,” says SIC chief executive officer Razlan Razali.
