7/5/2023 0 Comments Decelerate oversteer![]() ![]() If you run out to the exit kerb between the two apexes, you’ll find it hard to get back to the second apex, as explained in the circuit guide. Be careful on these two kerbs here, as they can easily unbalance the car and push it wide. You can brake reasonably late and carry a lot of speed to the first apex. There’s a short straight before turns 7 and 8, which is basically a double apex right-hander. Once the car is at the apex the rest of turn 6 is relatively straightforward. Turn 6 quickly follows 5, where you will have to compromise slightly to ensure a decent entry. You’ll find time in being extremely smooth with the steering and pedals. The circuit is off-camber and the apex is late, making it really easy to spin. As explained in the track guide, the racing line here needs to have a gentle turn-in. We then head up and downhill before one of Sepang’s most difficult sections. You can run beyond the kerb here, on to the grass blocking, but be careful in single-seaters and prototypes. Sepang’s Turn 4 is of the more simple corners, with relatively easy to spot braking references and a big step in the apex kerb. The right-hander is long, so as I explain in the circuit guide, be sure to keep your vision a long way ahead and looking for the exit kerbing. Turn 3 is an acceleration zone that’s relatively easy in cars with downforce, but in more powerful GT cars can be a challenge. The circuit drops away just before the apex and can easily generate a mistake, so be patient. Turn 2 at the Sepang circuit is a tight left where the exit is important, as explained in the video guide. The line through Turn 1 is always a compromise, but it’s important to get most of the way back over to the right, to set yourself up for Turn 2 at Sepang. Here, late braking is the key to saving time, and there are plenty of references. The Sepang circuit guide begins with the difficult Turn 1. This guide to Sepang will help you master the circuit ready for your next track day or race. It’s a mix of slow and high-speed corners, combining to create a track that’s difficult to be quick at. The Sepang circuit is 5.5km in length and consists of 15 turns. In this track guide, Driver 61’s pro-driver, Scott Mansell, uses onboard footage from Dan Wells to explain in-depth Sepang’s racing lines, braking references and everything you need to know to be fast at this highly technical circuit.
