The main circuit, normally raced in a clockwise direction, is 5.54 kilometres long, and is noted for its sweeping corners and wide straights. The layout is quite unusual, with a very long back straight 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.
Two months back i went to Sepang International Circuit for a event organized by the media, it was my 1st experience on the track and was my 2nd time on the track. It also for the 1st time my ex car going into Sepang so i couldn't resist to go. I only got the pics few days back and i must say all the pics are truely nice that is because its taken by professional photographer from Hypertune if im not mistaken.
As usual, everytime i cant sleep the day before any activities, for the 1st day of school, trips or even a date. I'm supposed to wake my fren up at 6:30am but since i couldnt sleep and i felt abit hungry so i wake my fren up at earlier to have a breakfast or short drink before we start our journey to Sepang. My fren drove a Vios modified by TRD and not available in the market yet. The differences are the suspension are from Tein, TRD bodykit, 15 inch rims, air filter, two full bucket from Sparco (FIA approved), removable Momo steering and it's 5 speed manual!!! That's what i can remember.
I remembered alot of my friends complaint bout my car last time that it is very uncormfortable cause of my suspension setup was very stiff but this Vios is way harder than my car!! on the way to Sepang i was bouncing sitting at the back on KLIA highway.
As we get nearer to Sepang the weather didnt show a good sign as it started drizzling, so the track is wet. So we waited a while and the marshal there gave us a short briefing bout the safety and flags, signed up some papers and get our tag before we drive on the track.
Eventhough the track is still wet by the time we allowed to start and the event is only for 2 hours. So i didnt bother much and i doesnt want to miss this chance.
There was few celebrities on that day like Alex Yoong and Datuk K, Siti Nurhaliza's husband. Alex Yoong was driving Ariel Atom, a car that faster than Lambos and Ferraris. Datuk K was driving the lastest Nissan GTR.
Everyone would have a change to take a ride with Alex Yoong on that day with his Ariel Atom, too bad i didnt get the chance.
One of the local drifters was there too with his 180sx, i heard his entering speed into a corner was extremely fast. Imagine you attack the corner with speed of 160km/h. You need a very HUGE balls to do that!!!
We didnt really fully spend the entire two hours that is because there is a 1st timer crashed his RX-8 and broke his arm or driveshaft, I just passed by his car after the crash. Poor guy. Red flag was raised ans we have to stop till the RX-8 is out from the track. So basically we only used half or 3/4 of the session. After our session ended, there is another Supercar Event. There was alot of Ferraris, Lambos, Porsches, and many other supercars.
This is one of the highlight of the day when there was two classic car came for the event. It was Ford GT40!!
Another thing is if you not used to hardcore driving please becareful as my fren make a girl vomit while on the track!! sorry i dont have the pics, too gross to take picture.
More pics of my ex car (Deto).
We was exhausted eventho we only drive for 2 hours. So to freshen up ourself we need cappucino but where can we find at a place like Sepang? to make a cappucino you have to drive your car out on the track for 7-8 laps furiously and then open up your radiator. wallaaaa!! you have a hot cappucino anytime, anywhere!
