KUALA LUMPUR (DPA): Malaysians will not be able to watch the live telecast of next week's Malaysian Formula One Grand Prix car race for the first time because of poor ticket sales, news reports said Friday.

Sepang International Circuit (SIC), which is the local organizer of the race, have scrapped plans to allow a local television station to carry live telecasts of the qualifying rounds and the March 18 final, in a last-minute bid to boost ticket sales.
