Several attractions were held by the IATC and WSBK security simulation teams. Starting from rescuing hostages when the shuttle bus for visitors to the Mandalika Circuit was hijacked, simulating the handling of demonstrations by a group of people who came to the PT ITDC because it was provoked by an irresponsible party.
