Indonesia to host MotoGP and WorldSBK races from 2021

MotoGP and WorldSBK will both travel to Indonesia in a new deal signed by series owner Dorna and the area’s largest integrated tourism developer.

A new street-style circuit will be built near Mandalika on the island of Lombok, which is just to the east of Bali, in time for the 2021 season.

“What a unique project this will be, having an urban, world class circuit in a country where MotoGP has such a huge following,” said Dorna ringmaster Carmelo Ezpeleta.

“Indonesia is a key market for us with a considerable percentage of motorsport fans living here and the MotoGP atmosphere will be even stronger once the circuit is complete. Also, by including Lombok to the WorldSBK calendar makes this offer more attractive for local fans having two World Class events in the area during the year.”

Lombok will join Finland’s Kymiring as a new track on the MotoGP calendar.

The signing of the agreement was conducted by Ezpeleta and Abdulbar M. Mansoer, CEO of ITDC at DORNA’s headquarter in Madrid, Spain on the 28th January 2019, in front of Senior Management team of both parties and witnessed by Indonesian's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary for Spain, Drs. Hermono M.A.
