MotoGP weekend at the circuit, a go-kart session and ikan bakar at Bagan Lalang after.

Best time
Plan around MotoGP, usually in late October or early November, and book grandstand tickets early. Outside race weekends, there are smaller race meetings and karting through the year.
How long
1 day
Getting there
About an hour's drive from KL via the MEX or the ELITE towards KLIA. On MotoGP weekend, the roads around the circuit jam for hours, so arrive early and expect a slow exit.

Sepang International Circuit, next to KLIA, has hosted the Malaysian MotoGP every year since 1999, plus Formula 1 for many seasons. Race weekend is the big one: engine noise, packed grandstands and a lot of Malaysian flags. The rest of the year there's karting next door and the beach down the road.
