Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: F1 race 2014
Discussion
Need some advice from anyone who has been to Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur in particular.
A few of the lads are interested in going over next year for a week which will coincidice with the F1 Grand Prix.
Has anyone done this recently, if so, what would you advise/recomend?
Would we better off with a hotel close to the circuit/airport or at the city?
How cheap is KL compared to the UK?
Appreciate any heads up, so thanks in advance.

You will not get a hotel near the curcuit, unless you are mega rich. and you'll still need a taxi,
I live in KL, race at sepang, just got back from the track and off again tommorrow testing, PM me and I'll seend you all the stuff I have in various PDF files etc, hotels in Kl start at 10 pound a night for a hostal with a single bed and no window, 30 pound a night will get you something ok to good, best way to the track is from the airport limo service they get taken down the outside lane of the other carrige way and no quey. Most ticket now include the KL track transfer by train to the airport then bus into the track. Radious hotel is OK pool etc livliest part of town and 30 a night for a double withe breakfast.
Do not expect a lot of atmosphere, the teams stay at the track (hence no hotels) and come into the city very little, Hamilton and Rossberg were in KLCC for 30 minutes singning for the fans, crowd was huge I couldn't nbe bothered to get tn the lift to go down it was so packed. (Mind Frank Williams was in my mates pub the last two years), it's not a race I'd travel half way round the world for, hour in the taxi is OK, so make sure you tie it in with a holiday, and somthing of the country as well, there are loads of tickes available the day beore the race so don't pay over the odds, buy from the curcuit on their early bird promotion for agood price.
