Lombok Island Circuit – Mandalika

When was the track built?

The project for this new racetrack was given a boost in late 2018 when Dorna boss Carmelo Ezpaleta visited Mandalika.
Aside from the circuit itself, plans are to build supporting facilities including a shopping mall on 131 hectares of land within the special economic zone.
Eleven hotels, with around 1,900 rooms, are eventually planned adjacent to the track.
It is expected to be complete in 2021 and will join the new F1 circuit database from 2023.

When was its first Grand Prix?

The new circuit will be ready for the new F1 in 2023 and will rotate with other two to host a GP in the country.

What’s the circuit like?

The whole project is truly unique: it’s a purpose-built track that incorporates some existing public roads and is then handed over for normal traffic usage when not used for racing, located just few meters away from amazing Indonesian beaches.
Although it is designed mainly for motorbike races, it provides good overtake sports also for F1 cars and a very challenging section between turn 4 and 14, where car balance will be the deciding factor to deliver a good lap time.

Where is it located?

In the Mandalika Special Economic Zone on Lombok Island. It is served by an International airport.  (-8.899073; 116.296163)
