The Mandalika Grand Prix Association (MGPA) stated that it will involve 200 local marshals in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) in the GT World Challenge Asia car racing event at the Pertamina Mandalika Circuit on May 1–3.
"This demonstrates Indonesia's readiness to host an international-standard racing event. This readiness extends beyond infrastructure, but also to the increasingly professional and competent quality of local human resources," said MGPA President Director Priandhi Satria.
He said that hundreds of marshals, all from West Nusa Tenggara, played an important role in supporting the race's operations.
They consist of various strategic functions, starting from Pitlane Marshal (45 people), Track Marshal (95 people), Track Maintenance Marshal (10 people), Chief Marshal (8 people), Pick Up Bike Marshal (8 people), Recovery Marshal Team (23 people), as well as Reserve Marshal who as a whole ensure that every aspect of the race runs safely, orderly, and according to international standards.
"The role of marshals is one of the most vital elements in organizing motorsport," he said.
He said that everything from track supervision and incident management to ensuring the safety of racers and crew requires precision, speed of response, and high levels of coordination.
The full involvement of local marshals is clear evidence of the readiness of Indonesian human resources to support world-class motorsport championships.
