It has been well over 20 years since Indonesia hosted a WorldSBK round but we will all return to the vast Archipelago nation in late November to witness more of an all-new start than a restart . It is not just the venue for the race action that has changed in all those years , it is the whole idea of what a race circuit can be in such a massive motorcycle market as Indonesia . The thrill of the new will centre on the recently built Mandalika International Street Circuit on the Island of Lombok . It is an important , if not audacious initiative for Indonesia in general , full of ambition . Created from a single piece of coastal real estate , inside a 1,035 hectare special economic zone ( SEZ ), the Mandalika circuit will begin its motorsport life as the venue which will host the final round of the most thrilling WorldSBK championship fight in recent memory . It will be a memorable weekend with several high points to look out for , with no less than three WorldSBK and two WorldSSP races to round out an enthralling season . Toprak Razgatlioglu and Jonathan Rea , Yamaha and Kawasaki , will go toe-totoe and elbow-to-elbow to work out who wins the biggest prize of all , and they will do it a venue that has already been a point of focus for many . With great justification the new Indonesian circuit declares itself unique , It is both an international class circuit from the very start , with all the expected safety measures and racing infrastructures in place for race weekends and
