A very limited run of “GP” plates (GP 1 – GP 100) associated with the inaugural Formula 1 Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang in 1999. These plates were issued for officials’ and VIPs’ use during the event, effectively as special registration for GP-related vehicles. For example, some dignitaries’ cars carried “GP” numbers throughout the race week. After the Grand Prix, a handful of these GP plates remained in private hands. JPJ records indicate only 100 numbers existed. They were not sold to the general public at launch, but over time some have appeared in auctions or private sales. Owning a GP plate is exceptionally rare – it’s a slice of Malaysian F1 history. Given the tiny range and event-specific origin, GP plates are almost never seen on the road today, and when they are, it’s usually at classic car shows or motorsport events. Key Facts: Issue Date: 1999 Issuance Range: 1 - 100 Rarity: Ultra-rare (100 plates, event-use) Transfer Rules: Standard (though originally tied to event vehicles)
