Indonesia Prepares to Host 2026 Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia

Indonesia is once again preparing to host the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia, scheduled for 9-11 October 2026 at the Mandalika International Circuit in The Mandalika, West Nusa Tenggara. Indonesia’s presence in the global MotoGP calendar serves as a crucial moment to demonstrate the nation’s capacity to organise world-class international sporting events. More than just a race, the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia is an event that strengthens the country’s position as a global sport tourism destination while showcasing Indonesia’s natural beauty, culture, and hospitality to the world. As the event organiser through PT Pengembangan Pariwisata Indonesia (Persero), or InJourney Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC), and supported by PT Mandalika Grand Prix Association (MGPA) as the circuit operator, various preparations are continuously being made to ensure the 2026 Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia meets the international standards set by Dorna Sports and the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM). Troy Warokka, Chairman of the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia 2026, stated that extensive preparations are underway to ensure this year’s event runs optimally and provides the best experience for all parties involved. The world’s trust in Indonesia as a host is inseparable from the success of the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia in recent years. The 2025 event successfully attracted 140,324 spectators, making it one of the largest sporting events in Indonesia. The presence of MotoGP also opens wider opportunities for local creative economy players, arts, culture, culinary, and tourism sectors to introduce their products and services to both national and international markets. With the support of all stakeholders, the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia 2026 is expected to once again become an important momentum to strengthen Indonesia’s position in the international sports calendar.
