As a response to the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, this race was dropped from the 1998 calendar.

On 23 February 2019, it was announced that the Indonesian GP will return in 2021 and will be held at the now under-construction Mandalika Street Circuit, which will be located inside the under-construction Mandalika Resort Area in Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara.[3] The circuit will be the first street circuit in MotoGP history.
