This street course is set up in downtown Kuala Lumpur and passes by
several of the city's most famous landmarks including the world-famous
twin Petronas Towers and the Kuala Lumpur Tower. It was first used in
2015 for rounds of the Formula Masters China and Lamborghini Super
Trofeo Asia championships.

In 2016 this track will become the first in Malaysia to host a round of
the V8 Supercar championship. Some small v8 exhibitions were held at the
track in conjunction with the debut race in 2015.

(The little Malaysia flag on this track doesn't appear to be working)

The inaugural V8 Supercar race here, the proposed KL City 400 Supercar
Extravaganza in August 2016, was ultimately cancelled in May leading up
to this race due to some domestic legal issues in Malaysia. The Aussie
touring cars have a contract for this race through 2019 so it is
expected the series will try again in 2017.

They ran some V8 Supercars exhibition races here in 2015 to promote the
full races in 2016. The races had only a five-car grid with one from
each of the Supercars manufacturers at the time (Holden, Ford, Nissan,
Volvo, and Mercedes-Benz). Todd Kelly said the track was "craziest"
street circuit he'd ever run. The full races have still never come
together as of 2019 with 2015 remaining the only year this track was set
up.
