Sepang International F1 Circuit

The Sepang F1 International Circuit is the venue used for the Formula One Malaysian Grand Prix, A1 Grand Prix as well as the MotoGP Malaysian Grand Prix. It is also used as a venue for many other major motorsport events.

Widely regarded as a benchmark for other Grand Prix venues, the Sepang circuit boasts superb pit garage and media facilities, as well as impressive grandstands and patron amenities. Some complaints have been raised regarding the unevenness of the surface, as the track appears to be slowly sinking. This is possibly due to the fact that Sepang was built on the site of a former swamp.

The circuit was designed by renowned German designer Hermann Tilke, who would subsequently design the impressive new facilities in Shanghai, Bahrain and Turkey.

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.

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 2.61 km in length.

Sepang International Circuit also features kart racing and motocross facilities.

Proton Perdana

The Proton Perdana is a mid-size car produced by Proton. It is a "badge engineered version of the 7th-generation Mitsubishi Eterna and is currently Proton's flagship. Unfortunately, at that time Eterna was not a very popular Mitsubishi model in Japan. But the sales boomed up after a while Proton Perdana came out into the industry.

The car is Proton's first to offer an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and cruise control.

The Perdana was first introduced in 1995 with Mitsubishi's proven 2.0 L 4G63 engine. In 1997, it was facelifted with a chrome grill, a new rim design and new colours and interior trim.

In 1999, Proton shoehorned a 2.0 L 6A12 V6 engine (also sourced by Mitsubishi) into the Perdana. The so-called Perdana V6 also had a new bodykit and 16" rims. The original Perdana soldiered on for a short while before it was dropped.

In 2004, the Perdana V6 was given a major facelift, gaining a new Alfa Romeo-esque front grill and new bumpers. Inside, it was given a new aluminium-effect trim.

A replacement for the current Perdana model is expected in 2007, possibly based on the Australian Mitsubishi 380, itself a modified Galant.
