Pekeliling Malaysia circuit description
Malaysia has long had ambitions to join the countries hosting international motor sport and the country now has a circuit worthy of hosting both the F1 and FIM Motorcycle Grands Prix. The Sepang F1 Circuit has raised the standards for all other circuits since it hosted the Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix inaugural race in 1999. Some 64 km south of Kuala Lumpur the Sepang
International Circuit has put Malaysia on the Formula 1 Map. The track can accommodate up to 130,000 spectators during the Malaysian F1 Grand Prix.
The Sepang International Circuit has been specifically designed to encourage overtaking, being very wide and containing at least four slow corners following long straights. The other 10 corners are medium- to high speed. Those characteristics lead to the brakes having a hard time, while cars also need plenty of traction to accelerate away. Ticket prices have been reduced after the first 2 years to attract more of the local folk to the race. Since 2001, the Malaysian
Grand Prix has moved from the end of the schedule to the beginning. This has led to some surprising results as teams and drivers get to grips with their new equipment. Many Malaysian F1 races have been heavily influenced by the winners and losers of the scramble for position into the tight double hairpin bend at the first corner.
Region
Sepang International Circuit lies on an 80 km distance from the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur. Central Market is interesting for shoppers. 50 years ago, this used to be the biggest market in the world. Other famous tourist attractions are Independence Square, the Sultan Abdul building (definitely worth seeing) and the beautiful Sri Mahamariaman Temple. The most famous building is the Petronas Twin Tower; the highest tower in the world.
