Formula E Jakarta Gets 7 Domestic Sponsors

JAKARTA - The Jakarta Formula E organizing committee has invited seven domestic sponsors to support the implementation of the electric car racing event in Ancol, North Jakarta.

"It is true that there are seven sponsors," said Chairman of the Jakarta Formula E Organizing Committee, Ahmad Sahroni, quoted by Antara, Saturday, May 28.

However, Sahroni did not provide details on the contract value or the nominal total sponsorship disbursed by the seven brands.

There are also seven domestic sponsors, namely cellular phone and gadget retail companies, national private banks, hotels, electronic product retailers, sugar products, food products and cosmetic companies.

Previously, Sahroni said that the cosmetics company provided sponsorship worth Rp. 5 billion.

Sahroni also briefly mentioned that the electric car racing also received sponsorship support of Rp. 100 billion from a consortium of entertainment companies.

However, Sahroni did not reveal the name of the entertainment company that disbursed funds to the Jakarta Formula E organizing committee.

"There is one 'entertainment' group giving Rp. 100 billion. Later I will tell you the name from within the country," he said, Thursday (26/5)

Some time ago the organizing committee for Formula E Jakarta had received the spotlight regarding the sponsorship of beer companies.

Sahroni reiterated that the beer company is a global sponsor of Formula E Operation (FEO).

Although he guarantees that there will be no logo and beer sales at the circuit location, he did not reveal whether sponsorship support from the beer company will continue to flow for the event in Jakarta.

Sahroni said the beer company logo would be replaced with the words "When you drive, never drink".

Likewise, when celebrating victory, he continued, his party did not use alcoholic beverages as is usually done in other countries.

"We have agreed that there will be no Heineken logo in the circuit area. In addition, there will be no use of alcoholic 'campagne' at the award ceremony," he said.

If you look at the page on fiaformulae.com, the beer sponsor with the green color and red star is one of the global Formula E partners.

Apart from beer, there are also sponsors from airlines, watch brands to international shipping companies.

While the sponsorship for Formula E in Jakarta is still the same as the global sponsor, but there is an additional Jakpro logo and the Jakarta City Collaboration.
