JAKARTA - The World Superbike (WSBK) and World Supersport (WSSP) motorcycle championships at the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit have been completed.
Interestingly, the number of spectators in Mandalika exceeded the number of WSBK spectators at the Donnington Circuit, England.
This is based on a report from the 2022 WSBK Mandalika Field Commander Jamaluddin Maladi after holding a motorcycle racing event on 12-13 November 2022.
SOE Minister Erick Thohir expressed his joy at this achievement.
He said, the high number of spectators is proof of many positive things for the Mandalika Circuit, the BUMN involved in it, and Indonesia.
Furthermore, Erick said, the increasing number of spectators showed public confidence in the security of the Mandalika Circuit, which has only hosted WSBK twice.
The public also puts confidence in the convenience of facilities and infrastructure around the Mandalika Circuit.
Erick also underlined that the successful implementation of world championships as high as WSBK was the result of the collaboration of many parties, including SOEs who were also involved.
"All these positive things have given a breath of fresh air to Indonesia's good name as the host of WSBK. There is no doubt about Indonesia's ability to host a global event. Everything is safe, comfortable, and successful," said Erick.
International racers who participated in the WSBK and WSSP championships indirectly became Indonesian ambassadors in the eyes of the world.
"They will spread good news about Indonesia abroad," said Erick.
