This review is of the Night Track Tour.
Was part of a group. We each paid approx AUD $170 per person for a dinner at a restaurant on track, present, and a track tour on a bus.
Started with vague descriptions on where to go and when. Security guards tried to deny us access to the tunnel we were supposed to meet at, but eventually let us through.
Went to the area that the restaurant was located. No one knew anything there either, but kept trying to call people to see if anyone knew anything about the tickets we paid so much for. After nearly an hour of standing in the heat, someone showed up with the present were were promised. A hat in a bag.
We asked if we can walk pit lane, but was told to wait for another tour to finish their walk. Another 30 min later we did the walk to see 2 semi open workshops and a lot of roller doors closed. Oh well, off to the dining room for our dinner.
That was below poor as an offering for a dining room.
Some left over seafood ball pasta, not enough for 2 people left in the server, some undescribed sandwich fingers (not many on display), some very small cake slices and some sliced fruit. Everything else had gone by the time my group got to the dining room, but no one seemed in a rush to get any more food to the table. About 20 min later some warm nibbles arrived and the table was re-stocked so photos could be taken. Disgraceful offering for the price and build-up. Attached is a picture of the best meal any of our group got.
The track tour on the bus was the highlight, but not worth the money we paid sadly.
Just to top the experience off, the bus gave us all a lift to a bus stop out of the track. Sounded good until the bus got stuck on low overhead wires and had to use a broom to get us untangled. That pretty much summed up the night and was a fitting finish.

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!

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.

Sepang International Circuit for MotoGP is in my view the best circuit to watch the MotoGP at. 1st tip get premium seats, they are the best and have the best access. You get the full experience of the MotoGP. VIP seats are overrated. Also, get a free pit walk on a Friday afternoon. Tip No.2 Try and make sure you have a ride back home as it gets mad on a Sunday. Tip No.3 Bring walking shoes and come light. The reason I say best track is if you set opposite start, and finish as well as Pit garages for the rides and the Podium, you can see all the way down the straight, as well as two corners and the making corners directly behind you.

This is I think my sixth time attending the motogp at sepang.
The circuit is brilliant great views and extremely friendly atmosphere. The downside is the extreme heat and humidity and massive crowds, the Malaysian people are very friendly and the prices for food, drink and t shirts are very reasonable. I hope to be back next year.

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!

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.

Hello all,
This is my guide to attending Moto GP at Sepang from my experience in 2014.
Booking Tickets:
Go to sepangcircuit.com and book online. Print your tickets out in A4 normal paper and that's your ticket. Easy.
Seating:
I would recommend the main grandstand. Get the ticket for just a little extra that enables access to both main grandstands. This gives great view of the grid, both main straights and heaps of corners. It's the closest entry point on the circuit and ALL the merchandise stands and exhibitions are in between. It's the place to be. Easiest and quickest entry and exit to the circuit also.
The other stands are further away and in my view don't have all the facilities the the main grandstands do.
Do not sit on the hill !!!! Limited shade and shelter in the morning but NO shade in the afternoon or protection from the elements, be warned.
The grandstands are fully covered and offer great protection from sun and rain.
Getting there:
Depending on where you stay, but if your staying in KL, around the city centre like KLCC, twin towers, Bukit Bintang etc it's easy. We stayed at the Shangri La so this is what we did.
There is a shuttle bus service that leaves from out the front of the Petronas Twin towers and cost 30 ringgit return per person. There is a Moto GP stand set up inside the twin towers shopping mall near the entrance closest to the buses that will help with tickets. But you can also buy bus tickets on the morning as they set up a stand at the bus stop. The bus trip out there takes 1 hour to get there and about 1.5 hours return (due to traffic).
This is the cheapest hassle free way to get there. You can cab it, and if you do I would suggest meeting your taxi when leaving the races on the other side of the road at the service station to avoid driving around the traffic jams leaving the circuit.
The buses also leave from KL Sentral railway station if that's closer to you.
You can also take a combo train to airport and taxi to circuit if you like.
What to take:
Food and beverages are reasonable priced at the circuit and good quality. They don't let you take any ford or drinks inside anyway, so you have to buy. It's ok.
Sunscreen and ear plugs. Sepang is LOUD ! The sound reverberates from the grandstand and is super noisy..
Also a small umbrella may be useful for shade when walking around and it does rain at that time of year. Be prepared.
Overall.
Sepang Moto GP draws a big crowd, it's a big event so you must be patient and be prepared to move slowly in large crowds. The merchandise, trade displays and bars were awesome, great atmosphere, friendly people and reasonable prices make this Moto GP really worth going to.
You can see heaps of the track, from the main grandstands, I reckon 2/3 or more can be seen from there and its easy to move around.
Would definitely recommend going. If your thinking about going do it !

This Circuit is the best we visited till now, we had the best overview of the race, with 4 corners to view the race. Although we were sitting on the hill side, the view was excellent. Great atmosphere too

Hello All, I want to ask how to go to Sepang International Circuit from KL Sentral and vice versa? Is there any possible bus? This is for MotoGP 2022
Written 17 September 2022
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!
Written 6 December 2019
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....

Hi, we are going to Moto GP, staying at Majestic Hotel in KL. What is the best way to get to and from track?
Written 21 October 2019
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.
Written 27 May 2019
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! 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..
Written 27 September 2018
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.
