| How
to get there |
|
|
By Bus or Taxi
You
can catch the Airport Coach bus service that departs from Jalan Duta
Bus Station to KLIA. From KLIA, you can get a transfer to Sepang
International Circuit via Taxi or Sepang Omni-bus. Alternatively, get
the bus from Sentral Station to the Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT)
near KLIA. This service can drop you right in front of Sepang.
By Rail
From
Kuala Lumpur's Sentral Station, take a Komuter Train to Nilai or the
ERL (Express Rail Link) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
From Nilai and KLIA, you can catch a taxi or the Sepang Omnibus to take
you to this circuit, 10 minutes from KLIA.
By Road
From
Kuala Lumpur (KL), take the North-South Highway towards the KLIA
Interchange. It takes roughly 45 minutes to get to the circuit from KL.
Once you pay the toll, take the first left exit from the highway. A
mosque will be on your left. You will then reach a round-about, through
which you go straight. Then take the first left exit after the first
traffic lights (about 8km). From there on, you will find ample signs to
take you to the circuit.
