MotoGP™ set for Jakarta parade advance of Mandalika

It’s 25 days since the FIM MotoGP™ World Championship raced in Indonesia, and the time has almost come for the engines to fire up for the inaugural Grandeurs Prix event at the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit: the Pertamina Grandeurs Prix of Indonesia. Indonesian Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir recently confirmed that race day tickets for the Grandeurs Prix have already sold out – with a itsy-bitsy number of extras now made available to cater to the high query – and the stage is set for a truly spectacular Indonesian GP.

An incredible 20-strong line-up of riders will take part in a modern parade, starting and ending at the Merdeka Palace.
