The Sepang International Circuit is a motorsport race track
in Sepang, Selangor, Malaysia. It is located near Kuala Lumpur International
Airport, approximately 45 km south of the capital city Kuala Lumpur. It is the
venue used for the Formula One Malaysian Grand Prix, A1 Grand Prix, Malaysian
Motorcycle Grand Prix and other major motorsport events.
The circuit was designed by German designer Hermann Tilke,
who would subsequently design the new facilities in Shanghai, Bahrain, Turkey,
Valencia, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Korea, India and the USA.
The circuit was officially inaugurated by the 4th Prime
Minister of Malaysia Tun Doktor Mahathir Bin Mohamad on 7 March 1999 at 20:30
MST (UTC+08:00). He subsequently went on to inaugurate the first Moto GP
Malaysian Grand Prix on 20 April 1999 (see 1999 Malaysian motorcycle Grand
Prix) and the first Formula One Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix on 17 October
1999 (see 1999 Malaysian Grand Prix).
he main circuit, normally raced in a clockwise direction, is
5.543 kilometres long, and is noted for its sweeping corners and wide
straights. The layout is quite unusual, with a very long back straight (927
metres) separated 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 raced in a clockwise direction. It is basically the
first half of the main circuit. The course turns back towards the pit straight
after turn 6 and is 2.71 kilometres long in total.
The south circuit is the other half of the racecourse. The
back straight of the main circuit becomes the pit straight when the south
circuit is in use, and joins onto turn 8 of the main circuit to form a hairpin
turn. Also run clockwise, this circuit is 2.61 km in length.
Sepang International Circuit also features kart racing and
motocross facilities.
雪邦赛道
雪邦赛道距离马来西亚首都吉隆坡约65公里，初期建造经费达到1.2亿美元，于1998年11月建成完工，
1999年承办F1大奖赛。赛车场方宣称雪邦是座拥有最高级的观众席及高科技设备的F1赛车场。赛道的设计兼顾了车手与观众，设计者在主看台，设计了一个被宇宙飞船采用的“香蕉叶”形状的顶棚，就如同建筑专家Hermann
Tilke所说：“观众们从这里可以看到每个车手的白眼球。”赛场的主观众席可容纳30,000人，其他的区域则可容纳80,000人。
吉隆坡赛道于两年之前进行了重修，赛道的总体长度略有增加，所以比赛圈数从原来的58圈缩减至56圈。赛道也富有多样性，因此对每一位车手都是一个挑战，从缩略图看，马力大而且悬挂好的赛车更有优势。每年的雪邦大奖赛都是在赛季中后期进行，但是今年国际汽联将比赛时间提前，对组委会来说将面临不小的考验。
赛场为各车队提供了舒适的维修区，也为媒体提供了高科技的新闻中心，堪称是2003年之前全世界最好的赛车场。这个赛道融合了乡土与城市风景，是最佳的融合。自从1998年兴建之来，雪邦赛道的景色就是如此美丽的。不仅景色优美，雪邦赛道的设施也是非常出色的，随后的新建赛道大都是以雪邦赛道为蓝本或灵感兴建的。
赛车场除了进行F1比赛外，还将进行世界摩托车锦标赛和马来西亚的本土赛事。2000年6月，日本GT赛也破天荒首次在雪邦举行了一场海外赛事，而且非常成功，总共有超过两万名观众到现场观战。
