Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The Sentul Circuit will have the opportunity to
be chosen as the venue of international championships if the management
successfully hosts MotoGP 2017, Director of Sentul International Circuit
Tinton Soeprapto said here on Thursday.
"If MotoGP 2017 can be successfully organized, I think all international events can be held here," he added.
To make the Sentul Circuit located in Bogor, West Java province, an
international venue for tournaments, Indonesia should put in all efforts
to ensure that MotoGP 2017 is held successfully in Indonesia.
"If Indonesia is graded A for MotoGP 2017, we can organize other
international events here," Soeprapto stated, adding that the Sentul
Circuit needed to be maintained to meet international standards.
According to the director, the Sentul Circuit is a valuable asset of
Indonesia to host MotoGP, although a few improvements need to be made
to some existing facilities and supporting infrastructure.
"Within a month, we will have a small team and will carry out a
program to modify the circuit in accordance with international
standards," Soeprapto affirmed.
MotoGP was established as a world championship by the Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme in 1949.
It is the oldest motorsports championship in the world and the
premier-class of three racing classes that take to the track on a
typical Grand Prix weekend. (WDY)
