Penang Esplanade picked as venue for National Cub Prix final round
PETALING JAYA: The Penang Esplanade is back as a venue of a motor-racing event – the final round of the Petronas AAM Malaysian Cub Prix Championships from Dec 19-20.

The event promoters, Safe Aim Mutual Sdn Bhd (SAM), have also changed the dates for the penultimate round of the 10-leg championships, from Nov 14-15 to Dec 5-6.

Promotions director Ron Hogg said that the changes were made in the interest of the Cub Prix contingent.

“The ninth round was initially planned for the second week of November but we pushed the date forward to December in the Sepang South Circuit. Therefore, the final round has to be moved to the third week of December, the week before Christmas.”

Ron added that it would not be such a bad timing to run the race in Penang as it was a perfect venue to draw the curtains on the season in conjunction with the Penang Pesta.

“Penang, as a historic location, would be the perfect site to end this year’s Cub Prix Championships — making it a one of a kind race, unlike any other,” he said.

“We expect the final round to draw a massive crowd, both locals and tourists. Furthermore, it is the school holidays and just around the corner for Christmas and New Year.”

Ron added that it would be the first time that the Cub Prix races will be held on the island.

“We have organised races all over Malaysia, including Sabah and Sarawak. It will be the first on an island and we are all looking forward to it. I believe the teams, riders and fans will feel the same way too,” he said.
