spectators and natural stands that are able to
accommodate 100,000 spectators. Since it first played
host to Formula 1 in 1999, the Sepang Circuit has become
one of the most popular circuits among the F1 drivers.

How
to get there |
|
|
|
|
By Bus or Taxi
You can catch the Airport Coach bus service that departs
from Jalan Duta Bus Station to KLIA. From KLIA, you can
get a transfer to Sepang International Circuit via Taxi
or Sepang Omni-bus. Alternatively, get the bus from
Sentral Station to the Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT)
near KLIA. This service can drop you right in front of
Sepang.
By Rail
From Kuala Lumpur's Sentral Station, take a Komuter
Train to Nilai or the ERL (Express Rail Link) to Kuala
Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). From Nilai and KLIA,
you can catch a taxi or the Sepang Omnibus to take you
to this circuit, 10 minutes from KLIA.
By Road
From Kuala Lumpur (KL), take the North-South Highway
towards the KLIA Interchange. It takes roughly 45
minutes to get to the circuit from KL. Once you pay the
toll, take the first left exit from the highway. A
mosque will be on your left. You will then reach a
round-about, through which you go straight. Then take
the first left exit after the first traffic lights
(about 8km). From there on, you will find ample signs to
take you to the circuit.
