Maurizio Flammini, president of Infront Motor Sports, said: “We are
proud of the growth of the Superbike calendar which, thanks to the
inclusion of the latest rounds, is obtaining a presence in countries of
major importance for the development of our championship on a sporting
and commercial level."
Previously Tinton Soeprapto, director of PT Sarana Sirkuitindo Utama - which manages the Sentul International Circuit – announced that Sentul will hosting WSBK for 3 years as on the deal.
“The contract value of one Superstars series [event] is around 3 million
to 4 million euro/year or 35,65 billion rupiahs to 47,53 billion
rupiahs/year. The Superbike contract is also around that value,” Tinton
told Kompas.com, adding that the money was coming from private sponsors
and not the government.”
Shown on the banner in the picture, Indonesian round will be held on March 2013. At least a year now and that is a sufficient time to fix the circuit to follow the regulation.
