Grand Prix of Malaysia
Sepang International Circuit, designed by architect Hermann Tilke, hosted its first Grand Prix in 1999. With four slow corners following two long straights and ten medium to high-speed corners, the wide track is particularly favourable to overtaking manoeuvres and plenty of open throttle. One of the longest laps in motorsport is made all the more gruelling for riders by intense heat and humidity. Malaysia has witnessed significant growth as one of the biggest sporting events in Southeast Asia.
