Traction Control Circle (TCC) track day scheduled on the 15-Oct. Got fired up after watch Lotus Proton F1 car on fire at the grid lane on the final lap of SingTel F1 SGP-night race. To ensure I don't scewup my day on the 15th, I did some research. Hope that this would stir up some interest. I got some of the information from various website + 1 video from Jarno Trulli's F1 car showing how the corners will show up. Sepang Internation Circuit. It's considered as one of the most technically & physcially challanging circuits due to the heat. Track temps can reach 38degrees The track combines fast and slow speeds. In three corners speeds of only 60 Km/h, there are two straights which allows flat out speed total dist. 5.54km total 15 corners. right hand corners - 10 corners left hand corners - 5 corners The track can be divided into "North" track and "South" track.

1st timing is the total, the S1 to S4 is the timing achieve during the 4 stages on the circuit..
Can see the timing taken during each stage and if take the best timing taken at each stage, can give you the susposed best timing u can achieve.
For example, S1 - my best is 36.363, S2 is 44.740, S3 is 54.535, S4 is 48.694 = 3:04.330
Tanjm348 - S1 - 38.323, S2 - 45.881, S3 - 1:01.380, S4 - 50.436 = 3:16.020
Laobeng - S1 - 39.664, S2 - 48.736, S3 - 1:03.265, S4 - 53.720 = 3:25.380
