Tech3 KTM Factory Racing's Raul Fernandez (no25) races around the corner with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Brad Binder at the last corner of the Mandalika Circuit, during the MotoGP pre-season test, February 2022.
Next week, the Indonesian series MotoGP race will be held at Mandalika Circuit in West Nusa Tenggara. The eyes of the world will be on the event, and a new era for Indonesian civilization will begin.
For the Indonesian nation, this MotoGP race is certainly more than the administration of a world sporting activity. The prestigious race will actually be a test of the nation, of whether it is really ready to enter a high level of sophistication and compete with many countries that have started earlier.
The MotoGP championship is a competition that combines human strength and proficiency with technology and science. The champions are great human figures who dare to face challenges, even high risks, but are also full of accuracy and dexterity in controlling or responding to each situation that occurs, very quickly and precisely.
Their speed and dexterity cannot be separated from their motorbikes, which have very unique specifications, including their engines, chassis, suspensions and brakes.
The quality-loaded technology makes the bike’s prices exorbitant, reaching Rp 70 billion.
Successfully carrying out the MotoGP race also requires very high international standards and amazingly complex organizing. All of that requires very mature planning to minimize risks due to human or technical error.

The facility to stay in a tent is an alternative choice for spectators of the Indonesian MotoGP series at the Mandalika Circuit, Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, 18-20 March 2022, due to the limited lodging rooms around the Mandalika Circuit. A number of camping sites have appeared in Lombok, one of which is the Bobobox X Eiger on Kuta beach, Mandalika, which was photographed on Sunday (13/3/2022).
It is no wonder that many countries want to organize this event, but many are unable to for a number of reasons, including the quality of the available racing track. The asphalt surfacing of Mandalika Circuit presents science and high technology. The entire MotoGP work process has been quality-oriented.
Now, in less than a week, the MotoGP race will be held. However, visiting Mandalika Circuit on the weekend, various preparations had not been completed, including the construction of the spectator, not to mention various public facilities, such as health centers, transportation, accommodation and lodging.
The work pattern called the overnight system (SKS) must still be recognized as a way of working. In fact, the news that Indonesia had received permission to hold the MotoGP race was announced on 23 Feb., 2019. For such a prestigious venue, everything should have been prepared early to anticipate various possibilities.
We certainly hope the next few days can be utilized as well as possible so that all goes smoothly and successfully on the day of the event. After holding a MotoGP in 1997, Indonesia must succeed in the MotoGP race at Mandalika Circuit in 2022 to promote the nation's name. Mandalika Circuit is not only known to be superior in its panoramic views, but also in the readiness and security of the area and the hospitality of its community.
