Accommodation For The 2022 Mandalika MotoGP Race Is Still Not Enough

JAKARTA – The accommodation for the Mandalika 2022 MotoGP race is still not enough. For this reason, the organizers continue to work before the race event is held in March.

The Commander of the Mandalika 2022 MotoGP Field, Hadi Tjahjanto, said that his party would make maximum efforts so that accommodation would be sufficient, including building camping and boboboxes. However, currently they are still looking for the ideal location.

"Once it is built, we will inform the prospective audience who bought tickets. We convey that the accommodation is near Mandalika. There are also restaurant ticket facilities, mosques so that people can vote," said Hadi, quoted by Antara.

Currently the organizers continue to coordinate to prepare accommodations that are considered important to be held. These include shuttle buses, entrances, which are still under review and will soon be realized.

Hadi said that his party also plans to approach the communities. Among them are large motorcycle users or the car community.

“We offer them a special place for camping. If they are interested, they will be prepared," Hadi said.

The same thing was conveyed by the Director of Operations and Business Innovation of ITDC Arie Prasetyo. He said the team was continuing to work on finalizing preparations ahead of the test officials and the Mandalika 2022 MotoGP grand prix, which was getting closer.

"For that, we coordinate every equipment that we have to fulfill regularly with Dorna Sports, FIM, and the Mandalika 2022 MotoGP Field Commander," said Arie.

Arie accompanied Hadi to check directly at the Mandalika Circuit on Wednesday, February 9. On that occasion there were also Director of the Motor Grand Prix Association (MGPA) Priandhi Satria and Deputy Director of MGPA Cahyadi Wanda.

In addition to seeing the control room area, Hadi's group also saw the paddock area, the team's logistics area, and the drivers. The former TNI Commander also witnessed firsthand the busyness of the racing team crew who prepared the equipment and paddock settings.

The official Mandalika 2022 MotoGP test will be held on 11-13 February 2022. Meanwhile, the race event will take place on 18-20 March after the first series in Qatar.
