Sepang first opened its doors in 1998, to audible gasps from motorsport fans the world over. Built over a period of 14 months, it boasts outstanding facilities and spectacular viewing.

The 5.548km circuit can accommodate up to 130,000 raceday spectators in its stunning grandstands and features five left-handers and ten rights, with its main start-finish straight just shy of 1km in length.

Although Sepang is situated 75km to the south of Malaysia’s capital, Kuala Lumpur, it is only ten minutes’ drive from the city’s international airport.
