The Selangor state government has dropped its plan to build a motorcycle racing circuit in Gombak, but remains committed to the project and is looking for a new location.
The original proposal for the facility in Sungai Tua was derailed due to viability and environmental impact concerns, as well as high costs involved.
The proposed location was found to have insufficient distance for drag racing and would affect the water quality in the nearby river.
The state government is now searching for a suitable location to build the dedicated circuit, which was planned to include facilities such as a paddock, cafeteria, surau, and sales booths.
