But last year was very successful, and this year, with the improvements we have made to the asphalt and preparations, as well as the expansion of the surrounding areas with more roads and more hotels, with all the experience from the local team, it should be easier and will improve every year. This year is much easier, for sure," he explained.
Not only that, logistics are also much more efficient compared to last year. Dorna has a significant commitment to ESG Advanced sustainability. He hopes that every year, MotoGP will be better than the previous year.
"Our intention every year is to become better, to have a better event. We talk to the people and with the Indonesian government to have bigger footprint of MotoGP through this year as well," he added.
Vice President of Corporate Communication of Pertamina Persero, Fadjar Djoko Santoso, mentioned that Pertamina has also made preparations, evident in the increasingly well-organized infrastructure, well-arranged parking facilities, and improved road access.
