PETALING JAYA: As the worldwide movement control orders start to roll back, Formula 4 South-East Asia are set to announce a shortened 2020 race calendar with all events to be staged at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) in Malaysia. The proposed 16-race 2020 F4SEA Championship calendar will feature four events in Sepang to minimise risks and at a cost-effective fee of RM187,426.76.

However, the plan is still pending approval of motorsport’s governing body International Automobile Federation (FIA).
