Idemitsu Goes to School specifically targeted SMK N 3 Mataram, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). This social activity was also part of Idemitsu efforts to welcome the MotoGP international motorcycle racing event held at the Mandalika Circuit on October 13-15, 2023.
As part of the program, they donated to improve the learning facilities of the students, especially those studying automotive. In addition, 50 students were invited to watch the MotoGP live in Mandalika and experience the atmosphere of world-class racing.

Other promotions were offered through online selling (Shopee) with an exclusive poster of Taka Nakagami signed by the original!
"The excitement of the MotoGP Mandalika was felt by all people in Indonesia. But sometimes the people around Mataram are forgotten. That's why Idemitsu held the Idemitsu Goes to School program in collaboration with SMK N 3, automotive department. In which Idemitsu shared about the function of oil to future mechanics in Mataram,” said Senior Manager of PT Idemitsu Lube Techno Indonesia, Asahi Katayama.
In addition to sharing, Idemitsu also invited teachers and students to experience watching MotoGP live at the Mandalika Circuit.
