General information
The
Sepang International Circuit at the
Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)
is a very modern Formula 1 circuit. The
overall quality of the grandstands and facilities
is good. Most of the seating areas are inside
the centre building, the so-called "Mall
Area". The Mall Area even features
a Prayer Room. The Mall area offers two
sides, the main straight part and the South
side. Both sides feature two tiers where
the upper tier offers a superior view over
the lower tiers. There are also two additional
Covered stands namely the K and F stands.
At the other locations around the track
there are standing areas. There is one covered
standing area, C2. One can park close to
the desired grandstand so the walking distance
to your seat is never long.
Viewing quality
The Mall Area offers an excellent view of
the start-finish straight and the pit lane.
The South side offers a great view of the
straight before the last turn and also of
the whole south part of the circuit (turns
9 to 14). Stand K, where Platinum means
the sections closest to the turn, is the
most popular stand with the prime view of
the first corner. Stand F offers a decent
view but the cars pass at higher speeds.
The standing areas offer a decent views
with C2 and G offering a nice view of respectively
corner 9 and corner 4.
Prices
Ticket prices for the Malaysian
Grand Prix seem to be lower each year
as opposed to the yearly increase we usually
see. This is partly because the average
Malayan does not earn enough to allow him
to visit the event. The prices for the Mall
Area are pretty average when compared to
other events. The standing areas are very
cheap. We see that a lot of back packers
that are traveling through the region choose
these. Make sure to choose the covered C2-area
because it can be very hot in Malaysia!
Best Deal
The best deal on F1
tickets for the Malaysian Grand Prix
is the K1 Gold stand. Located in Turn 1
it offers a great view of the technically
challenging first curves. It also provides
a great view of the characteristic Mall
Area and the Main Grandstands. This quality
paired with the price makes this stand the
best deal for the Grand Prix of Malaysia.
If you are on a tight budget you should
go for the C2 area. Take a towel or plaid
with you to sit on and go to the right part
of the area (close to Turn 9) and you will
have an excellent weekend for well under
100 Euro.
