PT Pengembangan Pariwisata Indonesia (ITDC) stated that the payment of hosting fees to Dorna Sport is in process and it is certain that the Indonesian GP at the Mandalika Circuit, 27-29 September 2024 will still be held.
“MotoGP hosting fee payments are quite supportive. This means that the race is certain to continue,” said Chairman of the 2024 Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia (MotoGPTM) Troy Warokka in Central Lombok, Wednesday (18/9).
He said the Ministry of Youth and Sports (Kemenpora) was paying special attention to MotoGP hosting fees.
In addition, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy is planned to again provide support for the Indonesian GP event at the Mandalika Circuit.
“We continue to work to get support for this hosting fee source. It can be paid before the race or after the race, there is no problem from Dorna Sport,” he said.
He also expressed his appreciation to the Central Lombok regional government which has had the idea to support the payment of free hosting of the Indonesian GP event, although it has not been officially announced.
