JAKARTA - The members of Commission B of the DKI Regional Representative Council (DPRD) directly inspected the location to be used as the Formula E circuit in the Ancol area, North Jakarta.

On the sidelines of the review, the Secretary of Commission B of the DKI DPRD, Pandapotan Sinaga, asked the Director of Business Development of Jakpro, Gunung Kartiko about the certainty of sponsorship for the implementation of Formula E.

"Where are the sponsors from?" asked Pandapotan in the Ancol area, Wednesday, December 29.

"There are already several brands, sir," replied Gunung.

Pandapotan asked the subordinates of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan to divulge what sponsors the DKI Provincial Government has recruited for the electric car racing event.

"What is clear, for example, is that there are brands of drinks, food, and banks. That's how it is," said Gunung.

Pandapotan also warned Gunung not to let the loan from Bank DKI to Ancol be used to support the implementation of Formula E.

"Anyway, don't let Ancol's IDR 1.2 trillion loan get here," said Pandapotan.

"Ready. If it's guaranteed, sir. It's safe, sir," said Gunung.

At the circuit location, Pandapotan saw a stretch of land partially covered with grass. The rest of the rain puddles make the soil structure on the east side a little wet.

Pandapotan also doubts that the asphalting of the Formula E circuit in this location can run well. Because, he said, this location is a former swamp.

"If the vacant land is hard, it's okay. This is empty land, mud. This used to be a swamp, sir. During the Jokowi era, we threw away construction mud and came here all the time," said Pandapotan.
