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

In February 2019, it was announced that the Indonesian GP would return in 2021 to be held at the Mandalika International Street Circuit, then under construction in the Mandalika resort area of Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara.
