S2022E05 — Grand Prix of Indonesia (Moto 2) - Mandalika International Street Circuit Indonesia

Trama

The Paddock, Grand Stand Seating, Non-Seated Area, and Hospitality Suites are temporary facilities, so when there is no race, the circuit would become an ordinary road. The track itself is a flowing layout of 5.4 kilometres, surrounded by artificial grass designed to prevent sand from the neighbouring desert from blowing onto the circuit. The main straight is over a kilometre in length and there is a good mix of medium and high-speed corners, including a couple of quick left-handers which has proved particularly popular with the riders. In 2008 Qatar celebrated the first night time Grand Prix in history, following the construction of permanent outdoor lighting. The switch to night time racing was a success and has continued to be so, with the Qatar event now established as one of the most spectacular on the MotoGP calendar.
