Heading to Sepang International Circuit for F1 Bahrain Grand Prix? Here are the Grab drop off and shuttle rules

Grab has updated its service routes and drop off locations to comply with new traffic management rules.

Riding on the motorsport excitement generated by F1 Bahrain, fans travelling to Sepang International Circuit for the upcoming race weekend face restricted road access near the venue.

Direct vehicle access to the circuit is restricted to authorised shuttle buses, forcing most racegoers to use designated transfer hubs.

Only Grab Standard 6 Seater vehicles allowed direct circuit access

Passengers using Grab cannot be dropped off directly at the circuit gates unless they book a Standard 6 Seater vehicle.

This specific ride category is the sole service permitted by traffic marshals to bypass perimeter checkpoints and access the circuit grounds directly.

Standard four seater cars, Advance Bookings, and Group Rides are prohibited from entering the main venue area.

Only four drop off locations for standard Grab rides

Riders using all other Grab vehicle tiers must set their destination in the app to one of four designated shuttle hubs. These locations are:

• Long Term Car Park
• Mitsui Outlet Park KLIA
• KLIA Terminal 2
• Bandar Baru Enstek at SK Kompleks KLIA

Passengers arriving at the Long Term Car Park can board free Grab chartered shuttles to the circuit, with priority boarding given to Grab passengers. Signage and beach flags mark the designated PIN and boarding zones at the car park.

Travel advice regarding traffic congestion and weather conditions

Heavy congestion around the airport and circuit area is expected to increase journey times.

Commuters should budget extra time for both the vehicle trip and the connecting shuttle bus transfer.

App users must verify their destination pin matches one of the four approved hubs before confirming a ride.

Fans are also advised to prepare for unpredictable weather and poor air quality by carrying a raincoat and a face mask.
