Sepang International Circuit (GPS: 2.75941, 101.73177) is a racing circuit in Sepang, Selangor. It is within view of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, about 60 km from Kuala Lumpur.

The Sepang International Circuit was first opened on 7 March, 1999. It has a 5.54-km circuit designed by Hermann Tilke, a German circuit designer who would also design the tracks in Shanghai, Bahrain and Turkey. The track in Sepang comprises two circuits, the North Circuit and South Circuit. These can be combined to form a full circuit with one tight hairpin.

Among the major events held at the Sepang International Circuit includes the Formula One Malaysian Grand Prix, A1 Grand Prix, Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix, the SuperGT and the Asian Touring Car Championship.

How to go to the Sepang International Circuit

Take the E6 Expressway in the direction of KLIA. Exit the expressway at Exit 1, when you see the KLIA Mosque to your left. This is how the exit looks like on street view:

Exit the E6 Expressway here.

You will pass the KLIA Mosque still on your left and reach a roundabout . At the roundabout, continue straight on until you reach the next junction to your left. That's Jalan Kuarters KLIA. Don't turn in there, or you will reach the rear part of the Sepang International Circuit. Instead continue on to the next left junction, which is surprisingly insignificant one.

The turn in to Sepang International Circuit ahead, on the left.

But once you turn in, you will see that you are on the right track, so to speak, as there are huge car parks on both sides of the road. Find a place to park, and then walk to the main entrance.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
