History
The construction of the circuit began in 1985 and was officially opened on 1986 by Sultan Iskandar.[1] In 1998, it underwent another development. In 2015, Sultan Ibrahim Ismail announced that the circuit would be redeveloped. In 2016, the new design plan was presented with a cost of US$800 million.[2] However, the redevelopment plans failed, and the circuit was closed in 2017 after the Asia Road Racing Championship races.

The circuit hosted the Malaysian motorcycle Grand Prix in 1998,[3] as well as two races of the Superbike World Championship in 1992 and 1993.
