      Petronas Sepang International Circuit

      Concebido para la velocidad y el espectáculo, el circuito internacional de Sepang es uno de los mejores del mundo. Fue construido en el corazón de un inmenso complejo que comprende un hotel, un campo de golf, comercios y otras infraestructuras deportivas y costó más de 50 millones de libras esterlinas. El conjunto se terminó en menos de catorce meses y sus instalaciones responden a los criterios más exigentes. Albergó su primer Gran Premio en abril de 1999 y desde esa fecha ha sido escenario de un Gran Premio del calendario mundialista.

      Con cuatro curvas lentas seguidas de varias rectas y una decena de curvas bastante rápidas, el circuito de Sepang favorece los adelantamientos y las puntas de velocidad elevadas. La competición en este trazado, uno de los más largos del MotoGP, se acostumbra a desarrollar bajo una calor intenso y con altos índices de humedad. Sepang se enclava a unos 50 kms al sur de Kuala Lumpur.

      Sepang, Malaysia

      In 1999 the brilliant Sepang International Circuit near Kuala Lumpur, designed by respected racetrack architect Hermann Tilke, hosted its first Grand Prix, with the 500cc race won by Kenny Roberts, Jr on a Suzuki. Since then Sepang has been a consistent fixture on the calendar and the circuit has also been extensively used for MotoGP™ preseason testing over the years.

      Why we love Malaysia


      The Southeast Asian country of Malaysia comprises 13 states and three federal territories stretching across a 330,800km2 landmass in two regions - Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia (Malaysian Borneo) - which are separated by the South China Sea.

      Peninsular Malaysia borders Thailand, East Malaysia borders Brunei and Indonesia. In this culturally diverse and exotic part of the world, the country is also a maritime neighbour of Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam.

      The country is a former British colony and has existed in its present form since 1963, with the population including Malays, Chinese, Indians and further indigenous groups. Malaysia’s rich cultural history means it boasts a wonderful range of cuisines, traditions, architecture and local festivals.

      Finding the right accommodation


      Many large hotel chains have properties in the area nearby the circuit, with prices ranging from as little as US$25 per night in locally owned hotels to US$250 plus per night for five-star hotel accommodation within a few kilometers of the track. Advance reservations are essential to assure a good priced hotel near the circuit on race weekends.

      Malaysia’s superb capital city of Kuala Lumpur offers a vast array of guesthouses, hostels, B&Bs, backpackers or lodges at the cheaper end of the scale, but some of these places are pretty basic. Like in many other parts of the world these days, it is easy to rent an apartment for a weekend in the city.

      Hotels in Kuala Lumpur vary from the very basic, to mid-range en-suite air-conditioned rooms for RM100 (US$32) per night including breakfast, to luxury hotels offering a level of style ranking alongside the best hotels in the world.

      Tips for visiting Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia


      One of the best things about visiting Malaysia is the country’s superb food - with local Malay origins, plus the fine, fresh products fused principally with Indian and Chinese cookery.

      Try some Malaysian staples such as Nasi lemak (steamed rice, coconut milk, pandan leaves, ikan bilis, peanuts, cucumber, hard boiled eggs and sambal), Mee goreng mamak (yellow noodles, beef or chicken, shrimp, soy sauce, vegetables, eggs and chili) or Laksa (spicy noodle soup in curry form, with fish or prawns) and then go with the flow from there.

      When it comes to general etiquette and dress code the Malay, Chinese and Indian communities have different ground rules, yet they are all tolerant of each other and of respectful visitors from elsewhere in the world.

      Malaysia’s climate is hot and humid all year round, and it is common to experience torrential rainfall preceded and followed by hours of sunshine, so get used to feeling the humidity and warmth. Be prepared to carry layers and a change of clothes in order to stay comfortable.
