International racing circuit in the pipeline

The red square beside the stadium in Batu Kawan marks the spot where the state intends to build a racing track.

THOSE with a love for automotive velocity may soon get their dose of it because Penang has earmarked a spot for a motorsport racing circuit in Batu Kawan next to the State Stadium complex.

Penang youth and sports committee chairman Soon Lip Chee said a 2.8ha plot had been identified to the east of the main stadium building beside Sungai Jawi.
