The entire track was resurfaced this year, with nine corner being reprofiled and 2000 feet of curbs being rebuilt.

"It will be as if they've come to Sepang circuit for the first time,"said Sepang International Circuit CEO Razlan Razali.
Jarno Zaffelli, whose Dromo track design company completed the modifications, added that the changes to the track will bring new demands in terms of tyres.
"Almost all corners will be more demanding in terms of vertical load while the last corner will do the opposite, with reverse camber and low speed, the grip will rely mainly on the tires," he said.
Of the changes, the most dramatic is the reprofiling of the second turn.
Turn two previously featured a sizeable dip, but has now been flattened, making the apex more visible, as well as improving drainage.
