Updated: August 2026 | By New To View Travel & Tour Sdn Bhd

Formula 1 is officially returning to Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia, from 2–4 October 2026, bringing F1 racing back to the legendary circuit for the first time since 2017. But there is one important detail many people are already getting wrong. The race is not officially called the 2026 Malaysian Grand Prix. Malaysia will host the FORMULA 1 GULF AIR BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX IN MALAYSIA 2026 at Sepang International Circuit. Formula 1 and the FIA announced the special arrangement in July 2026, placing the Sepang race between the Azerbaijan and Singapore rounds of the championship. For motorsport fans, corporate guests, sponsors, international visitors and VIP groups, it is one of the biggest motorsport events Malaysia has hosted in years.

And if you are travelling as a group, one thing deserves almost as much planning as your tickets and hotel:

How is everyone getting to Sepang and back smoothly?

At New To View Travel & Tour Sdn Bhd, we provide private F1 Malaysia 2026 bus rental, VIP coach, airport transfer and group transportation services for race weekend. Our October fleet is already beginning to receive bookings, particularly for premium and larger-capacity vehicles. Groups that already know their flight, hotel and race-day plans are encouraged to secure transportation early.

F1 Malaysia 2026: What Has Been Officially Confirmed?

Here are the important details for visitors planning their journey:

Event: FORMULA 1 GULF AIR BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX IN MALAYSIA 2026
Dates: 2–4 October 2026
Venue: Sepang International Circuit
Location: Jalan Pekeliling, 64000 KLIA, Selangor, Malaysia
Race Day: Sunday, 4 October 2026

Sepang International Circuit has also officially listed the Formula 1 event for 2–4 October on its website.

The 5.543 km Sepang circuit is one of Malaysia's most recognisable motorsport landmarks, with 15 corners and a history of hosting Formula 1 from 1999 until 2017.

For 2026, the sound of Formula 1 will finally return.

Getting to Sepang for F1 2026: Why Group Transport Should Be Planned Early

A common mistake when attending a major event is to organise accommodation and tickets months in advance. but leave transportation until the final few days. For one or two people, that may be manageable. For a group of 10, 20, 30 or 40+ passengers, transportation becomes an operational issue. Imagine organising 35 corporate guests using several separate cars. One vehicle arrives early. Another driver takes a different route. Someone is still waiting at the hotel. Another group has the tickets. A senior executive arrives separately. After the race, everyone has to find one another again. It turns a premium event into unnecessary work. A professionally arranged private coach allows your group to travel under one coordinated transportation plan.

One pickup plan.

One vehicle or coordinated fleet.

One driver team.

One organiser.

One destination.

For corporate events and VIP movements, that simplicity matters.

F1 Malaysia 2026 Group Transfers We Can Arrange

New To View Travel & Tour Sdn Bhd can customise transportation according to your group's complete Formula 1 itinerary rather than providing only a simple point-to-point journey.

1. KLIA & KLIA2 Airport Transfer to Hotels

International guests arriving through Kuala Lumpur International Airport can be collected and transferred directly to their hotel.

We can arrange vehicles according to:

• passenger count

• luggage volume

• flight arrival schedule

• VIP requirements

• hotel location

• number of arrival groups

For larger corporate delegations arriving on different flights, multiple transfers can also be coordinated.

2. Kuala Lumpur Hotel to Sepang International Circuit Transfer

Staying around KLCC, Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur city centre or other Klang Valley hotels?

We can arrange private hotel-to-Sepang transfers for Practice, Qualifying and Race Day.

Instead of arranging transportation every morning, groups can reserve a vehicle for the entire F1 weekend and work from a pre-planned movement schedule.

3. Putrajaya & Cyberjaya to Sepang F1 Transfer

Putrajaya and Cyberjaya can also be practical accommodation or meeting locations for groups attending events around Sepang.

Our vehicles can provide scheduled private transfers between hotels, meeting venues, corporate functions and Sepang International Circuit throughout the weekend.

4. VIP & VVIP Formula 1 Transportation

Not every F1 transfer is simply about moving passengers from Point A to Point B.

Some groups require a higher level of comfort and presentation.

That may include:

• company directors

• CEOs and senior management

• overseas partners

• premium customers

• sponsors

• invited guests

• corporate hospitality groups

• private clubs

• high-end tour groups

• event organisers

For these movements, New To View offers VIP and VVIP coach options. One of our premium options is our Brand New 2026 31-Seater VVIP Business Class Royal Coach, designed around a spacious 2+1 seating configuration with ultra-premium leather seating, additional personal space and a luxury interior. For a major international event such as Formula 1, the vehicle becomes part of the guest experience. Your VIP experience should not stop when you leave the hospitality suite.

5. Corporate F1 Group Transportation

Formula 1 weekends attract more than motorsport enthusiasts.

Companies may use major sporting events for:

• customer appreciation

• incentive trips

• management retreats

• networking

• corporate hospitality

• regional meetings

• partner entertainment

• team rewards

If your company is bringing 20, 30, 40 or more employees or guests to Sepang, we can build the transportation around your programme.

For example:

Morning: Hotel → Sepang International Circuit
Evening: Sepang → Corporate Dinner
Night: Dinner Venue → Hotel
Final Day: Hotel → KLIA

One operator can coordinate the entire ground movement rather than requiring your organiser to book a different vehicle for every journey.

6. Full-Day & Multi-Day Coach Charter During F1 Weekend

Some groups need more than a race transfer.

You may have:

• airport arrivals

• hotel movements

• meetings

• restaurant reservations

• sightseeing

• private functions

• race sessions

• evening entertainment

• departure transfers

In these situations, ask us about full-day or multi-day private coach charter arrangements.

It gives the organiser significantly more control over the group's movements throughout the visit.

Choose the Right Vehicle for Your F1 Group

One advantage of working with an established bus operator is being able to match the vehicle to the group instead of forcing every booking into the same bus size.

Our current fleet options include:

20–32 Seater Mini Coach

A practical option for medium-sized corporate groups, families and private delegations.

31 Seater VIP / VVIP Coach

Designed for premium groups requiring additional comfort and a more exclusive travelling environment.

40–45 Seater Tour & Luxury Coach

Ideal for large corporate groups, tour groups, associations and event delegations travelling together.

New To View's current fleet includes mini coaches, premium tour coaches and dedicated VIP options, including its latest 2026 VVIP vehicle.

Why One Coach Can Be Better Than Sending a Group in Multiple Cars

This is something we have learnt from managing group transportation over many years.

The biggest advantage of a bus is not simply the number of seats.

It is coordination.

Consider a 40-person group.

Using several separate vehicles means several drivers, several pickup points, several arrival times and several opportunities for someone to get separated.

With one appropriately sized coach:

Everyone departs together.
Everyone receives the same instructions.
Everyone arrives together.
The organiser knows where the group is.

For an ordinary outing, that is convenient.

For a time-sensitive international event such as Formula 1, it can make a major difference.

Going to Both Sepang and Singapore F1?

2026 also creates an unusual opportunity for serious Formula 1 fans.

The Malaysia-hosted Bahrain Grand Prix runs from 2–4 October 2026, followed immediately by the Singapore Grand Prix from 9–11 October 2026.

That means international groups could potentially experience two Formula 1 race weekends in Southeast Asia within approximately one week.

For groups building a Malaysia–Singapore motorsport itinerary, New To View can discuss suitable cross-border group transport arrangements according to your passenger count and schedule.

You could potentially combine:

Kuala Lumpur → Sepang F1 → Kuala Lumpur sightseeing → Johor → Singapore F1

into one broader Southeast Asian motorsport journey.

For overseas F1 clubs and private groups, this could become one of 2026's most memorable Formula 1 trips.

Why Book Your F1 Sepang Bus Early?

We normally encourage customers to plan important large-group movements ahead of time, but Formula 1 weekend deserves additional attention.

Why?

Because thousands of visitors will be travelling around the same dates, while premium coaches and high-capacity vehicles are finite.

More importantly, not every 31-seat or 45-seat vehicle is interchangeable.

A group specifically requesting:

• a brand-new bus

• VVIP seating

• 2+1 seating

• a particular capacity

• additional luggage space

• multiple buses

• multi-day standby

• corporate presentation

• airport coordination

has fewer suitable vehicles to choose from than someone simply looking for any available transportation.

At New To View, F1 weekend enquiries and bookings have already started.

Waiting until late September may mean your preferred vehicle class is no longer available.

If your hotel and race tickets are already confirmed, transportation should be the next item on your checklist.
