"We are very happy to be back in Indonesia after our last race at the Sentul International Circuit in 2018. AARC has always been at the heart of our Indonesian fans and is undoubtedly one of the most watched motorcycle racing series in the country," Ron Hogg said in a statement shared by the official ARRC account Thursday, January 12.
Ron also said that since the Mandalika International Circuit was officially built, there have been many requests for this location to be included in the ARRC series.
"Since the launch of the Mandalika International Circuit, we have received many requests to mark the ARRC's presence on the circuit, but for various unavoidable reasons, we were unable to meet the demand at the time," he continued.
"We are definitely looking forward to exploring the circuit further now and we believe that this will be a enriching experience for our AARC team, drivers and crew."
