Creventic Announces 12H Malaysia; Debut in December

Creventic has announced that the Michelin 24H Series will race at the Sepang International Circuit for the first time, with the inaugural edition of the Michelin 12H Malaysia set to be held on Dec. 6.

The newly announced race, which will run non-stop for 12 hours and thus not make use of Creventic’s trademark two-part format, will act as the first round of the 2025/26 24H Series Middle East calendar (formerly known as the Middle East Trophy).

A statement issued by Creventic outlines that the event has already attracted more than 20 entries, with local squad Viper Nina Racing set to field a two-car Mercedes-AMG entry in the GT3 class.

Meanwhile, the likes of Absolute Racing, Car Collection Motorsport, Earl Bamber Motorsport as well as GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS regulars Volante Rosso Motorsport are also set to be represented.

“All of us at Creventic are absolutely delighted to be making this announcement, our first visit to Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia for the first round of the Michelin 24H Series Middle East,” said Creventic commercial event manager David Vink.

“The track truly is one of the very best in world motorsport, and the addition of Sepang to our calendar shows the ambitions we have and how we listen intently to our competitors and teams.

“Visiting Sepang is something our staple race teams from the Michelin 24H Series have been asking about for a number of years, underlining its popularity, and so we are very happy indeed to deliver this opportunity.

“I think we can safely say as well we will expect an incredibly strong and healthy grid for the trip to Sepang, with more than 20 entries already received.”

Vink confirmed to Sportscar365 that the 12H Malaysia has no connection to the existing 12H Sepang, which is organized by TopSpeed and previously formed part of the Intercontinental GT Challenge calendar in 2016.
