MotoGP- Mandalika, Lombok 

The Indonesian motorcycle Grand Prix is part of the Grand Prix motorcycle racing World Championship.

The race was exciting however, a logistical nightmare when the race was over. 80,000 spectators trying to catch a few buses back to their cars took us 7 hours; 2 buses and hiking on the muddy roads in the pitch dark & rain back to our car after a bus got stuck and blocked traffic for miles.
