The Sentul International Circuit is a 2.46-mile (3.95-km) FIA Grade 2 racetrack constructed in 1993 in Sentul City, Indonesia, a modern housing area 50 km south of Jakarta, the country's capital. The MotoGP, the Superbike World Championship, and the GP2 Asia Series run regularly in the Sentul raceway as a part of their calendar. Sentul is a super rainy city that experiences considerable rainfall even during the dry season. The sun is intense and can get the track surface to scorching temperatures. The weather factor plays a remarkable role in this racetrack, and the racing teams need to prepare accordingly.    

The track surface of the Sentul International Circuit is smooth and very well-kept, with ample runoff areas guaranteeing a safe ride for both racers and motorcyclists. There are 11 corners in its trajectory, with only three fast-paced sweepers and eight sharp turns elevating the technical challenge in the circuit. Races start near the first corner in the 900-meter  (2952 feet) front straightaway. Turn one is a 90-degree corner, followed by the first sweeping bend at turn two. Turns three and four combine to form a multi-apex, super-tight corner at the northernmost side of the circuit. Turn five is fast, but the stretch comprised by turns six, seven, eight, nine, and ten is quite challenging to maneuver because of the sharp angles of these curves. The circuit ends at full throttle on the front straight after passing the sweeping corner number 11.
