Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia

City Guide: Mandalika

The Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit sits on the southern coast of Lombok — carved into a hillside above a turquoise bay within the Mandalika Special Economic Zone, a purpose-built resort development on one of Southeast Asia's most beautiful islands. Since joining the MotoGP calendar in 2021, Mandalika has established itself as one of the most visually spectacular venues in world motorsport: the circuit winds through tropical terrain with views over the Lombok Strait and, on clear days, the volcanic cone of Mount Rinjani visible to the north. The atmosphere — 150,000 Indonesian fans, deafening home support for local heroes, the heat and colour of tropical October — is unlike anything else on the calendar. Bali, connected by a 30-minute fast boat crossing, is the natural base for most international visitors.
