The theme of content uploaded on @itdc_id are about tourist attractions in Mandalika and information about circuit readiness. ITDC regulates Instagram uploads for weekdays are spots that can be used for sports activities, while for weekends information about WSBK races, for example regarding circuit readiness or rules for spectators.
