Pratama won the 2013 Suzuka 4 Hours race together with fellow Indonesian rider Iswandi Muis, both riding a Honda CBR600RR bike from Astra Honda Racing Team.

He had also participated in the higher class, Suzuka 8 Hours between 2014 and 2017.

He raced for Honda Team Asia, aboard a Honda CBR1000RR together with Australian Joshua Hook and Malaysian Mohamad Zamri Baba in his first participation of the event where the trio finished 7th overall.

The 2015 race saw a major change to the team as they replaced Dimas' partners with Azlan Shah Kamaruzaman from Malaysia, and Thai rider Ratthapong Wilairot.

His best ranking position ever was 5th in the 2015 season.

Between 2015 and 2018 Pratama competed in the FIM CEV Moto2 European Championship with Astra Honda Racing Team.

For the 2016 event, the team replaced Azlan with Zaqhwan Zaidi and finished 8th, an achievement that was repeated for the following year with the same line-up.

He made his Grand Prix racing debut as a wildcard at the Malaysian GP in 2017 at Sepang International Circuit.

Unfortunately, he was unable to finish the race as he was involved in a crash.

A year later, at the same circuit, he was called up by Tech 3 to replace their regular rider, Bo Bendsneyder, who was absent due to injury.

They completed the race in the 18th position.

His best overall result was 5th in 2018 season, and a total of 2 podium finishes in Catalunya race 1 in 2017 season (3rd) and race 1 Albacete round in 2018 (3rd).

He also participated in 2018 Catalan motorcycle Grand Prix as a wildcard, where he finished in 24th position.

He made his comeback after 4 months absent at Buriram and reached his best result of the season at Sepang as he finished 18th.

He secured a full-season contract to race in the 2019 Moto2 season for Hiroshi Aoyama's IDEMITSU Honda Team Asia.

In Spanish round at Circuito de Jerez, he was accidentally run over by other rider in the beginning of the race after crashing, and did not make restart.

He participated in the next two rounds, but also withdrew after taking part in the Free Practice sessions.

He was also absent for 4 rounds due to recovery from his injuries and was replaced by Teppei Nagoe at Red Bull Ring and Silverstone, Andi Farid Izdihar at Misano round, and Gerry Salim at Aragon.

His contract was not renewed and he was replaced by Farid for 2020 season.

After spending a year without a ride, Pratama was approached by Mandalika Racing Team, a project led by Kemal Nasution and People's Representative Council of Indonesia member Rapsel Ali in aim to contest for 2021 season.

The project initially was intended to form a new team in Moto2 class, but eventually switched to become a partner of Stop and Go (SAG) Racing, an existing team.

However, Dorna Sports, FIM, and IRTA advised him to compete in CEV Moto2, considering his racing records.

The seat in the team was finally filled by Bo Bendsneyder, who had to cancel his newly-signed contract at EAB Racing in World Supersport 600 class in order to join the team.

Pratama still served as a reserve rider in the team and had possible wildcard entries.

His chance eventually came as he was given a wildcard entry at 2021 Valencian GP.

However he crashed on lap 14 and did not finish.

Being unable to secure his full season Moto2 participation, Pratama raced in 2021 CEV Moto2 with SAG Racing, which marked his comeback to the championship since 2018.

Pratama is married and has two children.

His nickname is "Red Forehead".

He is endorsed by HJC Helmets since 2021, having previously been associated with KYT his whole career.
