Recognized as one of the most sophisticated circuits in the world, the 5.5 km Sepang Circuit offers lightning fast straights and heart-stopping corners that induce awesome overtaking maneuvers and non-stop high speed action. A complex series of uphill and downhill turns are worked into the natural topography of the track site.

Together, they make for a Circuit that pushes the performance of both vehicle and driver to the limit. The track was voted Most Challenging by F1 drivers in 1999 and boasts varied curve types that allow speeding between 90 and 310 km/hour. It includes two long straights of 0.9 km and is the world's first motor racing circuit to be equipped with electronic marshall posts.

Malaysia is one of the most pleasant, hassle-free countries to visit in Southeast Asia.

Malaysia has moved towards a pluralist culture based on a vibrant and interesting fusion of Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous cultures and customs.
