Unclear Formula E Circuit Criticism, Denny: Maybe Anies Baswedan Bandung Bondowoso, Build Circuit Overnight

JAKARTA - Social media activists mocked DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan about the circuit for the Formula E electric car racing event.

Even though it has been included in the Formula E calendar on June 4, 2022, to this day there has been no progress on the development of the circuit.

"Formula E is confirmed to be held on June 4, 2022. There are 7 months remaining from now. But the place doesn't exist yet. The circuit hasn't been built yet," said Denny, quoted from his Twitter, @dennysiregar7, Monday, November 8.

With the limited time remaining until the day of Formula E, Denny is a pessimist, Anies is able to build a race circuit. With a funny tweet, Denny quipped Anies.

"Maybe @aniesbaswedan thinks he is Bandung Bondowoso, can make a circuit overnight," said Denny.

The decision that DKI Jakarta is included in the Formula E calendar was made through the FIA World Motor Sport Council in Paris, on October 15, 2021. This decision also ratifies the 8th season racing calendar for 2021/2022.

Regarding the Formula E circuit, DKI Jakarta Deputy Governor Ahmad Riza Patria admitted that the location would be determined after a visit by Formula E Operation (FEO) to Jakarta, which saw the candidate circuit points firsthand.

However, Riza did not mention when FEO would come to the capital. He only revealed that currently five Formula E circuit options are being technically prepared for the visit.

"There are five alternative locations, which are technically pending and will be reviewed directly by the Formula E (FEO) envoy," said Riza.
