Beat the gridlock as SIC urges fans to arrive early

SEPANG: The Sepang International Circuit (SIC) management have urged spectators heading to the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia today to plan their journeys early to avoid crowd congestion.

The grounds outside the circuit turned into a massive waiting area after Friday’s first two practice sessions, with many fans stranded for hours as shuttle buses struggled to cope with the thousands trying to return to their cars at designated pick-up points.
