"We have secured a five-year extension from 2011 to 2015," Mokhzani Mahathir, chairman of the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) is reported to have said.
The move comes despite concerns about its course. Mokhzani said there were plans for a major upgrade that would include building an "automotive-related theme park with bike and go-kart tracks."
