Sentul International Circuit, used in 1996 and 1997.

The Indonesian motorcycle Grand Prix is a motorcycling event that will be part of the Grand Prix motorcycle racing World Championship. Only two previous Grand Prix events have been held, in 1996 and 1997, both at the Sentul International Circuit, Bogor, West Java.[1][2]

As a response to the 1997 Asian financial crisis, this race was dropped from the 1998 calendar.

In February 2019, it was announced that the Indonesian GP would return in 2021 to be held at the Mandalika International Street Circuit, then under construction in the Mandalika resort area of Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara.[3] The track, claimed to be a street circuit,[4] is the first in Grand Prix motorcycle racing since the Brno Circuit last staged a Grand Prix as a street circuit in 1986.[5] The Grand Prix races were subsequently postponed until 2022.
