Mandalika International Street Circuit (known as Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit for commercial purposes)[1] is a motorcycle racing track located in the Mandalika resort area on Lombok island, part of the West Nusa Tenggara province of Indonesia. The circuit opened by hosting rounds of the Asia Talent Cup and Superbike World Championship in late 2021, followed by Grand Prix motorcycle races in 2022.

The sports cluster and entertainment project, measuring 120 hectares, is expected to include the construction of hotels and other facilities.[2] As a purposely-constructed racing track with wide run-off areas,[3] it is claimed to be a street circuit as parts may be used in future, allowing normal traffic access to new resort facilities. Dorna chief Carmelo Ezpeleta confirmed in 2019: "We've always said that we don't race in a street circuit...".[4]
