In a hurry? Train about to leave the airport station? Just jump on board - you can buy your ticket on arrival at KL Sentral at the same price.
Visitors to Sepang, including the Formula One circuit, can make use of the good rail links between Kuala Lumpur and KLIA - see the "Get in - KLIA" section of the KL article for details on the KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit high-speed train services which run between KL Sentral, Kuala Lumpur's transportation hub, and the airport where connections to other parts of Sepang can be made.
The KTM Komuter can also be used to reach Sepang. Catch a train to Nilai station in Negeri Sembilan. From there, Sepang Omnibus goes to locations within Sepang district, including KLIA, Salak Tinggi, Sepang (for connections to Port Dickson in Negeri Sembilan) and Sungai Pelek.
During race season, the simplest way is to catch the train from KL Sentral to KLIA and then transfer onto shuttle buses which will bring you to the circuit. The operator of KLA Ekspres and KLIA Transit has transport packages which cover the train ride and shuttle bus. See the KLIA Ekspres website or Sepang International Circuit's website.
On non-race days, it may be difficult to get to the circuit by public transport. Your best bet is by taxi.

You could get a straight bus from the Nilai bus-station (nearest neighboring state of Selangor), take taxi (about 30 km) from KLIA airport or LCCT. It is more convenient to rent a car from the airport as the attractions from the surrounding areas are so irresistible to be neglected. On your way here, you will pass the Formula One Grand Prix and then just like watching the 'Back to the Future' movie, you will find the old Sepang town and after that the Pitaya (Dragon Fruit) farms offering you great deals of freshly hand-picked goodies!
