Chu 15 - Sepang International Cicuit, Malaysia

ELITE Highway, Sepang Toll

Right after our dim sum breakfast; we heading to our first destination, Sepang International Circuit (SIC). SIC is a motorsport race track in Sepang, Selangor, Malaysia. It is situated about 85km from Kuala Lumpur city centre, it is accessible via modern North-South Expressway, Railway Links and a network of Highways. Being closely situated to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport makes it an ideal place for world-class international events such as Formula One Malaysian Grand Prix, A1 Grand Prix as well as the Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix. It is also used as a venue for many other motorsport events.

The fine weather allowed us to have some photo shooting. We stopped by the parking entrance behind green hill for some photo shooting. Although my DSLR camera can't zoom as far as I want, but I still managed to adjust to capture the full wording of "Sepang F1 Circuit". (Hmm, need to buy an external lens for my DSLR camera. =P).

Due to the tight security, we're not able to go into the circuits unless there is a big major hosted. If not, it is on guard 24hrs. Therefore, I only managed to snap photos at the security guard entrance.

The circuit was designed by a German designer Herman Tilke, the circuit made quite an impact when it was officially opened on March 9, 1999. With a length of 5.543km, the track features 15 turns and 8 straights with access speeds of more than 300km/h. The track allows ample opportunities for overtaking, to ensure a race full of suspense and thrill.

SIC however, isn't solely a physical facility for Motorsports. In this place called 'Home of Motorsport' lies the aspiration of making Malaysia the hub for motor racing activities in the region and a catalyst to spark a new beginning for Malaysia's motorsport industry.

Group Photo

Lastly, group photo taken for memories. Enjoyed our day in SIC because it was a peaceful day without the disturbance of the public. This is my second time visiting this place, read more here.
