JAKARTA - President Director of BUMD PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) Widi Amansto said that his party together with the Indonesian Motor Association (IMI) as the organizer and the implementing committee of Formula E were visiting the City of Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.

Widi said that the visit to Diriyah was carried out in the context of a comparative study to study and adapt the implementation of Formula E.

Given, Diriyah is the city that held the first Formula E in the eighth season this year. The city will hold an electric car race on Friday, January 28 and Saturday, January 29.

"There are several people from Jakpro who have a comparative study with Diriyah. There is also IMI. The committee is there to see the implementation of Formula E," said Widi when contacted, Thursday, January 27.

Widi explained that the Formula E executive committee will study various things, starting from how to prepare, pre-event, to the handling of the marshall when the race is held.

"When the implementation is done, we can see how the committee organizes activities, how we can be hands on with this. Later there will also be a meeting with Formula E Operation there," said Widi.

Furthermore, Widi said that his party would also adapt the ticket sales model for organizing Formula E in Diriyah.

It is known, Formula E tickets at Diriyah are sold with a price range ranging from Rp. 570 thousand to Rp. 77 million. However, said Widi, Jakarta will not sell tickets at the same price.

"The standardization of tickets is certainly different. It's luxurious there. Saudi Arabia is very serious. The regional government is very supportive. If we look at their standards, we adapt them to their limitations," he explained.
