"Later, we will tidy up the queue of spectators. Later at every door, we will have a fast lane and a regular lane. If the audience wants to be fast, they don't have to come with a bag, so they don't have to be checked," he explained.
He even had the idea to introduce the typical culture of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) to a wide audience. One way to do this is by giving the nuances of local culture in the track area to the use of regional clothing for umbrella girls.
It requires support from the government to be able to realize it. Because this activity is profitable for the government and local communities. Especially in Mandalika, foreign tourists began to visit for holidays.
"If we need it, we need it. We cannot go it alone, without cooperation with the local government. And I think the local government will also benefit (with the presence of the WSBK event)," Priadhi Satria remarked.
