5th time now at this track and nothing has changed I love it. I have been to tracks all over Europe and this is still my favourite. It is well run with great access from the centre of kl.
It’s also great value for money with good viewing. It’s very hot and humid and gets crowded but this is Asia.
I will be back next year!

Only can reach via highway, you need to hire a cab or rent a car in order to come here. Need to pay for parking. Disappointed that we cannot go inside the circuit to see, marathon only happened at outside. We only can use the toilet, the male toilet has many urine bowls (really, many), but only few bathrooms which are unable to cope with marathon event.

While the course is not used for F1 at the present time, our tour guide, Nik, did an outstanding job! She personally took us everywhere on the course. Her details were wonderful. We live in hometown of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and now we want a tour just like Nik gave us. Such a great tour. Thank you Nik!

I did the circuit tour they offer just after New Year's and I would surely recommend this tour. The staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and will do everything that you will get the best tour you can get. I was picked up at the track because I was in the wrong spot and we stopped at various stops as long as we wanted. We had a looked at the main grandstand, the grandstand in turn 1, the big suite, race control, media center, track office, and the podium. Super relaxed and chill atmosphere and you get to see many cool things. We also stopped at the karting track and raced for a bit. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Amazing experience! Access to all sections of the main grandstand. Good variety of food. And not least: the amazingly friendly and helpful people - staff and guests alike!

Location is about a 40 min drive from AVANI Sepang. We were able to get a driver for 100 MYR.
We arrived just before 10am and were the only people there. The tour goes for 1 hour and then includes a 10 min Go-Kart ride on a separate track to the race cars.
The price for the 4 of us when we visited was 356 MYR.
We ended up having 3 guides in the mini bus with us. (Not sure that is normal) but between them, they were able to answer all of our questions during the tour.
They have 150 staff employed who are the ones who have to organise all of the logistics each time they have a race scheduled.
Our first stop was the Perdana Suites. This includes an area where that has a workshop for each of the teams to use when they stay. It has accommodation for the drivers and mechanics towards the back and the workshops are right by pit lane. While we visited, we were lucky enough to see some cars from an Australian Team that had raced the previous weekend. There were no drivers or crew around, but it was great to be able to see what might go on behind the scenes.
Next was the finish line and Podium. We found out that under the finish line there is a sensor and that each car has a chip installed so when they go over, the race lap times are recordered and that's what we see on the TV.
Next was the Media Centre. It can fit up to 470 people from all around the world. Unfortunately the day we visited, there was a conference being held for a race that was happening the coming weekend, so we couldn't stay in there very long. It was pretty cool to be able to stand on the podium and get a few pics though.
Next was the K1 Grandstand. 60% of the track can be seen from this stand. During high meet races, tickets can cost between 1000-2000 MYR. It is the 3rd most popular place to sit.
While we visited, there was a company who had arranged a Team Building day for their staff. It included the staff being able to go around the track with a professional driver in a Ferrari. We were lucky enough to be able to watch a few fast laps from the grandstand.
We got back to the souvenier shop (as you always end up at the end of a tour) around 11.20am. So our hour tour ended up being almost 1.5 hours :)
They handed us 4 caps and 4 photos (taken on our arrival which we thought we would have to pay for). No all of it was given to us without expectation of payment. Not sure if included in entry price but it was still a great surprise. The caps were leftover from the previous weeks racing.
Then to the Go-Karting. I was apprehensive as I had never done it before but the 3 boys couldn't wait. We did what they classify as a Series 1. 6.5 HP, 60-70 km/h, 4 stroke and 200cc. (Had no idea what that meant) but ended up having a great time for 10 min. Got faster and faster with each lap. Once we finished, the boys wanted to go again but something a little faster. They ended doing what is called a Series 2. 16 HP, 90-100km/h, 2 stroke and 100cc. It cost an additional 106 MYR pp for 10 min.
There is a small grandstand located at the track if you don't want to participate. There is also a drink vending machine if you get thirsty. 320ml can was 2.20 MYR when we were there.
While I didn't notice any extra safety aspects when I went out, I did notice there were 2 guys on a motorbike just wondering back and forth making sure the boys were ok when they went out.
When it's time to come in, they raise a yellow flag and guide you where to enter to get back to the pits.
Our driver collected us from the track and took us back to the entrance so we could go through the car museum. It is located right next to where you get your tour tickets. We were running out of time, so didn't read all of the information that was available.
Ended up leaving around 12.30pm but could of spent an extra 30 min to do the museum justice.
All up we spent 2.5 hours there plus 40 min travel time each way.

5th time in as many years and unfortunately the prices have risen really sharply for VIP tickets at the Moto GP race weekend in November.
The VIP lounge is moved every year a bit further away towards the end of the Pit Box stalls.
This year Aprilia sealed of a large part of the upper deck, which used to be open for all VIP card holders. This is not acceptable to have just a little space left for us while private VIP arrangements with manufacturers take most of the upper deck causing long walks between the VIP lounge and the upper deck.
The Lounge has been upgraded a little with some improvements in food supply and design/seating.
The staff is still very friendly - especially at the entrance - always happy to see Emmy again - she's very helpful.
The service staff is soso - some are well trained but mostly they use young staff who have no clue on how to provide a professional service in a VIP lounge.
The race course is still in very good shape, the action is very good as always
To the Management: there is room for improvement especially looking at the new competition in Buriram and upcoming in Lombok.
Despite all of our group like the event and the race track, we give an average rating for the reasons mentioned above - reduce service and increase prices every year will keep our group certainly away if not reversed.

Visited with no limits for a once in a lifetime opportunity t experience riding this special circuit.
The three days on track here with no limits far exceeded my expectations. The facilities and staff at this venue are far superior to any back in the uk!!
Would I return? Without a seconds thought!! Love you guys.

Pit boxes have plenty of UK Type G 3pin square plug power sockets, are spacious and the whole layout is pretty stunning. The riders enjoyed the track. There is free wifi in and around the press suite. The downside of this is that everything is F1 priced. If you knew where there was a table shop you'd buy one rather than rent one from the circuit! Price for an airconditioned room was astronomical so they all just stood empty. I can only assume that the circuit totally misjudged the budgets that endurance teams run at in comparison to WSB, Moto-GP, F1, etc. However, it's one of the most scenic circuits in the world without a doubt. The track itself dries really badly and is still completely wet when everything else has dried. The staff are all super friendly but the variety on offer in the rather swanky buffet restaurant is minimal. 2 choices and a bit of salad, that's about it. But for all the moans you just can't rate this circuit as anything other than 5 spots!

Hi, does anyone know that if I have to buy tickets for a Sepang circuit for a short visit? Or is it opened for a walk-in when there are no events there? Thx for your answers in advance!

If there isn't an event, you generally can't get into the Circuit, but you should be able to get to the admin offices/shop. If there isn't an event, it's not worth the trip....

I myself am not going but I do believe there are busses from k.l. Sentral for the 3 days directly to the track. If it works the same as when the g.p. was there they be a stall inside the station.
Is your hotel anywhere the monorail. The stop for the Monorail is right across the street from the station, by walking through a big shopping mall. I just got this notice now, so I imagine you are already there.
Have a great time.

I am contemplating going this nov.
I am bit concerned about the free for all seating, seems it could be quite dangerous with people climbing all over each other, if the rossi stand is sold out they still let people in who have roaming tickets, I have several options club south or getting a handicap pass as I have some mobility issues. Although I would prefer not use these options, what are the opinions of people who have attended this event.
Thank you.

Hi, In my opinion the stands away from the main Grandstands will prove difficult for handicapped persons.Motor GP has always been popular in Sepang and most years the grandstands are sold out. I think if you contact Amiel Junita of Marketing & Communications and ask for details on viewing areas for handicapped fans you'll get your answers. I'll make sure that she's aware that you'll be in touch. She's reacheable at: +6012 3825669....
If you need further help pls leave another message and I'll try my best.
Regards,
Gary.

Hi there, are u referring to the locker service during MotoGP event or on daily operation? On MotoGP event there will be locker service located near to the SIC Ticket Counter. On daily basis, if u r come for Circuit Tour, there is no proper locker, however u can keep ur bag in Customer Service Centre

Hi! Next year, I'll be coming to see the MotoGP events. Full weekend from Friday to Sunday. We're 3 people. If we stayed near Salak Tinggi station, Is it a good idea take the train from that station to KL airport? Then from the airport, shuttle bus to the circuit. Explain in detail please along with travel expenses to and fro. How much RM would it cost for a person for a day excluding food expenses? only travel expenses. Timings of the shuttle bus? And what is the time of first shuttle bus from airport? Explain in detail please. Thank you..

From salak tinggi, You can take klia transit (train) to klia/klia2. It costs RM4,9. Then take bus from klia/klia2 to sepang circuit. It costs RM12. Train from salak tinggi to klia/klia 2 departs every 30 min or 15 min in peak hours, starts from 5 AM... but sorry, i can't tell the schedule of the bus. You'll spend around RM35 for return trip.

はじめまして、
セパンサーキット内にはコインロッカー、もしくは荷物の一時預かり所はありますでしょうか？
エアアジア関空発の出発時間が変更にあり、KUL到着時間が早朝になってしまいホテルにチェックインする前にサーキットに行く予定になってしまいました。荷物のは機内持ち込みが出来るサイズのスーツケースになります。

私も関空で木曜夜出発で時間変更無かったので金曜出発土曜朝着だったのかな？
ホテルが空港近辺ならタクシー一択ですがクアラルンプール市内ならKLセントラル行きのバスが12リンギットで1時間ちょっと、電車だと5倍くらいしますが30分で着きます。
GP観戦ならセントラルのホテルにすると楽です。ブキッビンタンでも去年地下鉄ができたのでアクセスはだいぶ楽になりましたがセパン往復に限るとやはりセントラルが良いです。
アロフトの北側にサーキットシャトルのバス停が有るので便利にセパンに向かえます。
ただし帰りは必ずKLIA2行きのバスで電車に乗り替えないて戻らないとえらい目に合うので注意してください。
KLIA2の入国したところから左側の壁沿い、スーパーよりだいぶ手前に手荷物預かり所（バゲッジストレージ）が有ります。
二年前の料金ですが中30リンギット大40リンギット特大51リンギット（各24時間）でした。
下のバス停階のカプセルホテルのロッカーは時間貸しでもう少し割高だったように思います。
私は去年からレンタカーですが朝からサーキットに直行できて荷物もトランクに入れっぱなしに出来るので大変楽ができました。
もし免許をお持ちで複数人数ならお勧めです。マレーシアの人の運転は荒そうに見えて実は親切です。
大阪の方がずっと荒いし不親切ですよ～
多分私は来年も行くことになりそうです。
