SPM Physics-AHA! Why MotoGP Bikes Use Smooth Tyres

 

At Sepang, MotoGP riders like Marc Márquez race on one of Asia’s most advanced circuits. But why was Sepang built in the first place? This comic connects physics with history: Sepang International Circuit was constructed between 1997 and 1999 under Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad’s vision. Designed by Hermann Tilke, it was part of Malaysia’s modernization plan, the Multimedia Super Corridor, and opened officially in March 1999 to host the Formula One Malaysian Grand Prix. Join the AHA moment where racing physics meets national ambition — slick tyres grip the track, while Sepang itself symbolizes Malaysia’s drive to balance speed, technology, and global recognition.
