Not So At Monas, FEO Will Go To Jakarta To Review 5 Alternative Locations For Formula E

JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria said that the license holder of Formula E, namely Formula E Operation, will come to Jakarta to review the 5 locations that are used as options for the Formula E event.

These five alternative places were prepared because the DKI Provincial Government canceled the plan to organize Formula E at the National Monument (Monas) because it did not get permission from the central government.

"There are five points that are being used as alternatives. We will wait for formula E to review which locations are possible. God willing, this month," said Riza at the Central Jakarta City Hall, Thursday, October 7.

Riza had revealed a number of alternative locations, including the reclamation island, namely Pulau D or Pantai Maju and Pulau G or Pantai Bersama. In addition, the Senayan area is also one of the circuit choices.

However, today he no longer divulges another location that will be selected. He asked the public to wait until the DKI Provincial Government has officially determined the location that will be the track for the electric car racing event.

"There are 5 points that are being used as alternatives. One of them has been mentioned (on the Island of Reclamation). The other place, sorry, I can't tell you. If it has been submitted, it will be crowded. If it becomes crowded, it will be difficult, yes," he said. , Managing Director of Jakarta EPIX PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro), Gunung Kartiko said that the DKI Provincial Government will not use the National Monument (Monas) area as a Formula E circuit next year due to licensing issues.

"The venue, which is clearly not at Monas. That's just the clue, because Monas seems a bit heavy in terms of licensing. So we are looking for an icon location that really shows Jakarta," said Gunung at the DKI DPRD Building, Wednesday, October 6.

Moreover, said Gunung, if you want to make a Monas, it is feared that the circuit made will not be optimal because it uses non-permanent asphalt.

"If Monas used to know, it was on the asphalt kletek-kletek," said Gunung.
