MANDALIKA – Bad news came from the Mandalika Circuit, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), where two Idemitsu races were held. Asia Talent Cup (IATC) 2021 has been confirmed to be cancelled. The race was canceled because the Mandalika Circuit could not meet the minimum requirements for the marshal who served at each post as a form of security.
As is known, the Mandalika Circuit is scheduled to debut as an international race track at the IATC 2021. This race will take place on 12-14 November 2021.
The qualifying session itself already took place on Saturday 13 November 2021. However, the two races that were supposed to be held on Sunday could not be held as planned.
According to FIM regulations, there should be at least eight marshals in each post. However, this cannot be fulfilled by the Mandalika Circuit. In fact, every racer who participated had entered the track and prepared to start the race. However, they were then forced to enter, due to the lack of officers on the track. The existence of the marshal itself is very important to ensure the safety of the drivers. Each post is required to have a medical team and other officers, if something untoward happens. – –
