JAKARTA - The Mandalika Grand Prix Association (MGPA) stated that the Mandalika Racing Series (MRS) National Championship (kejurnas) at the Pertamina Mandalika Circuit, West Nusa Tenggara, on April 25-26, 2026, strengthened the training of young Indonesian racers. .
"This event is to support the development of the national motorsport world in order to increase the potential and achievements of Indonesian racers," said MGPA President Director Priandi Satria, quoted by Antara.
PRIDE Motorsport, MGPA supported by the Indonesian Motor Association (IMI) as the organizer of the 2026 Pertamina Mandalika Racing Series Kejurnas, has designed for this fourth-year event to increase its quality from various aspects with the support of various parties.
"The journey of the Mandalika Racing Series since its inception in 2023 continues to show its results, which are marked by the achievements of Indonesian racers in international racing events," said Priandi.
He said that the sustainability of the MRS was inseparable from the support of ITDC as a state-owned enterprise developer and manager of an integrated tourism area, then the consistency of Pertamina until the 2026 season, including other sponsors, is proof that the Kejurnas Pertamina Mandalika Racing Series has become a prestigious national motorcycle racing competition.
"The participation of Indonesian racers at the international level, including some achievements achieved, was born from the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit track in the last three years," said Priandi.
Meanwhile, PRIDE Motorsport CEO Eddy Saputra said his party continues to innovate in the MRS package, including the competition concept, to follow the pattern of systematic gaps in efforts to achieve world-class Indonesian racer achievements.
"Consistency is the key to maintaining this event so that it continues to take place and improve the quality of its implementation, from branding, activation, to live streaming, including its digital," said Eddy,
He added that one thing of concern was the training of young people so that they could continue to produce potential new talents who were ready to perform and compete at a higher level.
"This year, we are opening a new support class, namely Junior Sport 250 U-18 for junior racers aged 13-18 years before they move up to the professional class," said Eddy.
