The Sepang International Circuit (SIC) is the vanue used for the Formula One Malaysian Grand Prix as well as thr Malaysian Motorcyle Grand Prix. It is also used as a venue for many other major motosport events. Widely ergarded as a benchmark for other Grand Prix venues, the Sepang circuit boasts superb pit garage and media facilities, as well as impressive grandstans and patron amenities. Some complaints have been raised regarding the unvenness of the surface, as the track appears to be slowly sinking. This is possibly due to the fact that Sepang was built on the site of a former swamp. The Circuit was desinged by German desinger Hermann Tilke, who would subsequently design the new facilities in Shanghai, Bahrain and Turkey.The main circuit, normally raced in clockwise direction, is 5.54 kilometers long, and is noted for its sweeping corners and wide staights. The layout is quite unusual, with a very long back straight seperated from the pit straight by just one very tight hairpin. Other configurations of the Sepang circuit can also be used. The north circuit is also races in a clockwise direction. It is basically the first half ot the main circuit. The course turns back towards the pit straight after turn 6 and is 2.71 kilometers long.
