Indonesia's obsession with hosting the MotoGP racing series was realized over the weekend, when the Pertamina Grand Prix was held at the Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit.

This year's Indonesia Grand Prix has quenched the thirst that has lasted 25 years among motorcycle racing enthusiasts in Indonesia. Remember, the last time Indonesia hosted a MotoGP event was in 1997 at the Sentul International Circuit in Bogor regency, West Java.
