==Layout== [[File:Sepang International Circuit.JPG|thumb|View from Mall Area, Main Grandstand North, Lower Tier.]] The main circuit, normally raced in a clockwise direction, is {{convert|5.543|km|mi|abbr=on}} long, and is noted for its sweeping corners and wide straights from {{cvt|16–22|m|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite web |title=Sepang International Circuit - Architecture |url=https://www.sepangcircuit.com/about/architecture |access-date=8 January 2013}}</ref> The layout is quite unusual, with a {{convert|0.927|km|mi|abbr=on}} long back straight separated from the pit straight by just one very tight [[Hairpin turn|hairpin]].{{fact|date=November 2023}} 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 {{convert|2.706|km|mi|abbr=on}} long in total.<ref name='sepang_rcircuits'>{{cite web |title=Sepang - Racing Circuits |url=https://www.racingcircuits.info/asia/malaysia/sepang.html |website=RacingCircuits.info |access-date=30 July 2024}}</ref> 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 {{convert|2.609|km|mi|abbr=on}} in length.<ref name='sepang_rcircuits' /> Sepang International Circuit also features [[kart racing]] and [[motocross]] facilities.{{fact|date=November 2023}} ===Track configurations=== {{Gallery | title = Sepang International Circuit layout configurations | align = center | footer = | style = text-align:center; | mode = packed | File:Sepang.svg | Grand Prix Circuit (1999–present) | File:Sepang-north-track.gif | North Circuit (1999–present) | File:Sepang-south-track.gif | South Circuit (1999–present) | File:Sepang-gokart-track.gif | Kart Circuit (1999–present) }}
