How exciting! The MotoGP, a global event that has swept over 5 billion people, is coming to Indonesia!!! The brand new Indonesian North Tamimandari International Street Circuit is also ready! Are you ready? Let's welcome this "speed and passion" game of "brave warriors"! Some friends may not be familiar with MotoGP. What charm can make it create a viewing and broadcasting frenzy in more than 180 countries around the world? And which wonderful city will host the MotoGP 2022 Indonesia Grand Prix? What are the highlights of the Indonesian circuit? Let's take a look at the MotoGP 2022 Indonesia Grand Prix together. About the things of MotoGP What is MotoGP? Grand Prix of Motorcycle Racing, the world's top-level circuit motorcycle racing event, is equivalent to F1 (Formula One World Championship) in terms of status. In some ways, MotoGP is even more exciting than F1. On October 17, 2019, KPMG's official website released the global sports event social media fan numbers. It is shocking that MotoGP's fan numbers ranked tenth, even more than F1's fans! It is truly one of the top ten global top-level events. The history of MotoGP can be traced back to 1964, when the World Motorcycle Grand Prix first added a race in the United States. In 1967, it added a race in Canada, and in the 1980s, it began its globalization. According to statistics, in 2003, a total of 1.4 million people watched the races live, with an average of 87,500 people per race. Among the more popular races, the number of live spectators can reach up to 200,000. In terms of television viewership, the global audience for the entire 2003 event reached 5.105 billion person-times, with the event being watched in 239 million households across 185 countries worldwide. In 2004, the number of television viewers increased to 5.226 billion, an increase of 121 million from the previous year, firmly establishing it as a global leader. MotoGP 2022 Indonesian Grand Prix Located in the southern part of Lombok Island, Kuta Mandalika boasts an unimaginable and untouched primitive beauty of 1,250 hectares, renowned for its charming beaches and mountains. Near Mandalika, the Gili Islands, Pink Beach, Mount Rinjani, Segara Anak Lake, Bukit Pergasingan, and Senggigi offer endless beauty of Indonesia to every visitor. Five major features! The charm of the Mandalika circuit. Located in Mandalika, the full name of this track is the Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit. Not far away is the beautiful Tanjung Aan Beach, and the winding track is surrounded by sea breeze, making it a wonderful sight. This top international track has five unique features that are worth exploring! 1. The scenery is absolutely stunning! One of Indonesia's top five super scenic spots. Mandalika is recognized as one of the top five super scenic spots in Indonesia, alongside Lake Toba in North Sumatra, Likupang in North Sulawesi, Borobudur in Central Java, and Flores Island in East Nusa Tenggara. It is a comprehensive tourist area with vibrant bars and nightclubs, a family-friendly water park, and luxury hotel resorts. Imagine the scene on the south coast with white sandy beaches and lush green hills as the backdrop, where MotoGP riders compete with all their might - what a picture it would be! 2, built with 100% local Indonesian building materials. Did you know that the Mandala International Street Circuit was built 100% with local Indonesian materials? And it was completed within 21 days, setting a record at the Indonesian Record Museum (MURI). The 350 square meter pit building can accommodate 50 garages and consists of three levels. The ground floor is used by teams and technical personnel, the second floor is the podium area, including VIP forum and media center audience area, and the third floor has many other supporting facilities. 3, dual concept! It's a race track and a street. If you notice, the name of this track is the North Tamminamandalika International Street Circuit, which means it has a dual mission of both "street" and "circuit". On one hand, it has high-end racing track functions, and on the other hand, it is also a tourist attraction when there are no races. People can run, jog, or simply walk around the area surrounding the street circuit to enjoy the magnificent scenery. However, the main track of the street circuit is currently not open to the public and requires extensive safety testing. 4, the latest technology! Stone mastic asphalt technology escorts and protects. To meet the requirements of world-class racing events like MotoGP, the Mandalika International Street Circuit uses Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) as the third layer of road construction for polishing. SMA is an advanced mixture with a high level of permeability, which was only released by researchers in 2014-2015. It can strengthen the structure of the ballistic surface layer by utilizing the principle of stone-to-stone contact. Currently, the only racetracks in the world that have used SMA are Silverstone Circuit in the UK, Dubai Autodrome in the UAE, and Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit in Australia. 5, a surprise at the corner! Fusion of ancient Indonesian patterns. As an international standard race track, the Batamindo Karting Circuit also incorporates local Indonesian features, namely Subahnale, a traditional weaving pattern originating from the Sasak Tribe village on Lombok Island. This pattern can be found on the inner race area or outer asphalt of corners 15 and 16 of the Batamindo Karting Circuit. Indonesian Subanese traditional clothing is highly complex, made by hand using traditional weaving tools and plant-based threads such as betel nut, indigo leaves, tawas leaves, tree roots, bark, and coconut fibers. The manufacturing process usually takes a long time, but the finished product is an extraordinary work of art. Attached: Moto GP 2022 Indonesia race schedule guide.
