Mandalika Circuit to Host Four International Races in 2025

Antara News is reporting that Lombok’s Mandalika International Street Circuit is set to host four international racing championships in 2025. Director of the Mandalika Grand Prix Association (MGPA), Priandhi Satria, said the planned events include MotoGP, the Asia Road Racing Championship, the GT World Series Asia, and the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia.

During a focus group discussion in Mataram City, NTB, on Sunday (2/2/25,) he noted that the circuit is also set to host domestic races and various non-racing events this year and highlighted that the MGPA requires support from the provincial and district governments as well as the private sector to facilitate people’s access to the planned events, promote them, and make them a success.

“Such support is necessary to enhance the quality of our events and ensure their continuation,” he said.

Satria pointed out that in 2024, the MGPA organized a range of events for a total of 268 days at the international circuit, with the visitor count reaching 170,000, around 120,000 of whom were MotoGP spectators, says Antara News.

“At MGPA, we continuously review and refine event concepts,” he said.

He then expressed optimism that the circuit’s national and international exposure would help Lombok Island and NTB Province further polish Indonesia’s tourism appeal, promoting it to a broader population globally.

“Visitors will naturally spread the word about Mandalika, Lombok, NTB, and Indonesia, helping to introduce them to a global audience. We can expect this tendency to lead to a rise in the number of domestic and foreign tourists to NTB,” he said.

Furthermore, he asserted that the MGPA remains steadfast in its commitment to contributing to the development of Indonesia’s tourism sector by managing the Mandalika Circuit.

“The MGPA does not own the Mandalika Circuit, as this motorsport venue belongs to Indonesia. We must continue promoting the circuit for the country’s benefit,” he concluded.
