The circuit is a venue for Asia Talent Cup, Superbike World Championship and Grand Prix motorcycle racing races. The sports cluster and entertainment project, measuring 120 hectares, will eventually include the construction of hotels and other facilities. As part of the conservation maintenance, the vegetation that provides the backdrop to the Mandalika Resort area will be set aside as a conservation area of over 3,000 hectares. This area with many native species will only be accessible for low-impact activities, such as cycling or hiking to minimize damage to the flora and fauna.

 

 

This circuit has been under construction since 2015, which was inaugurated by the President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo. Previously, Indonesia had held MotoGP in 1996 and 1997 as well as the Superbike from 1994 to 1997, all at the Sentul International Circuit in Bogor, West Java. However, due to the financial crisis, Indonesia was forced to suspend its motorsport hosting program. This circuit was built to increase the number of tourists who come to the Mandalika resort area and introduce new tourist destinations.
