JAKARTA - The Mandalika Circuit is a new pride for Indonesia. World Superbike racer Scott Redding admitted that he really enjoyed racing at the Pertamina Mandalika Circuit in Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara and was satisfied to be able to entertain Indonesian fans.

The song Indonesia Raya was played in the final series of the World Superbike (WSBK) motorcycle racing event at the Mandalika Circuit, Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, Sunday, November 22.

Thousands of spectators who packed the stands of the Mandalika Circuit, guided by the voices coming from the race control, stood up simultaneously singing the anthem Indonesia Raya together.

A number of spectators who were in the stands admitted that they got goosebumps and were touched by the song Indonesia Raya that could echo in the area of the circuit which has the official name Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit.

"It's chilling to hear and at the same time proud," said Satria, one of the spectators who was present in the audience stands at the Mandalika Circuit, Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, Sunday, quoted from Antara.

The song Indonesia Raya was playing when a number of WSBK racers and crew were making preparations at the starting line for the second race, and at that time the circuit area with a track length of 4.3 kilometers and 17 corners was pouring rain.

This pride was also felt by a member of the DPR, Desy Ratnasari. Desy was also enjoying the Mandalika circuit. Through Instagram, Desy uploaded a photo of himself while trying out the circuit.

"Good morning, thank God, I was able to visit the Mandalika Circuit (@mandalikaracingteam) track with a length of 4.31 km and 17 corners located in central Lombok, NTB," he wrote on the @desyratnasariterfront account quoted Monday, November 22.

Desy looks very happy to be at the Mandalika circuit. This film player and singer is not even awkward to change styles to make netizens fascinated.

"Wow, it's really fun, buu," wrote @hasanbasri.7.

"Mashaallah, too pretty," wrote @putrimeisya21.

"Kereeeen," taherelzia.

"Wahhhhh youaaaahhhh so tempting," wrote @dewilova2687.

In addition to photos, Desy Ratnasari also made a video of her visit to the Mandalika circuit. This mother of one child tested the asphalt of the World Superbike race.

"We will go along the circuit where there was an event yesterday. We will enjoy it by riding a bogi," said Desy Ratnasary. After that, the video describes the beauty of the Mandalika circuit with details of the length of the track and the number of turns.

The holding of the World Superbike (WSBK) event at the Mandalika Circuit has a positive impact on NTB's economic growth in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic situation that is still engulfing Indonesia. Because, from an event like this, MSME actors can be absorbed by their products.

Of the 65 million MSMEs throughout Indonesia, there are currently 17 million MSMEs on board. For this reason, it is hoped that by the end of 2024 more than 30 million or part of the number of MSMEs in Indonesia can be absorbed by their products.
