JAKARTA - The construction of the Formula E circuit is pressed for time because it only targets construction to be carried out for 54 days. This circuit is being worked on by the BUMD PT Jaya Konstruksi.

Although it seems like a rush, DKI DPRD PKS faction member Abdul Aziz believes that Jaya Konstruksi is able to build a quality electric car racing track.

"I believe what they are doing is best practice, which is usually done without compromising the quality of the product," said Aziz in a short message, Thursday, February 24.

Moreover, said Aziz, Jaya Konstruksi has experience building a number of flyovers and toll roads, such as the Semanan-Pulo Gadung toll road. The work was carried out in a limited time.

"We'll see in the next few weeks before using it there will also be quality tests that must be passed. I'm sure they will be able to finish on time," he said.

Previously, the person in charge of Formula E construction at PT Jaya Konstruksi, Ari Wibowo, said that his party worked 24 hours non-stop in building the circuit. Currently, the progress of the construction of the Formula E circuit has reached 28.5 percent.

Ari claims this progress is about 8 percent faster than the target. On the current 21st day of construction work, they are targeting construction to reach 19.69 percent.

"The construction of the Formula E circuit has an implementation period of 54 days. Imagine, with this weather, we currently reach 28.5 percent," said Ari when met at the construction site of the circuit, Ancol, North Jakarta, Wednesday, February 23.

It is known, as of February 23, the progress of the construction of the Formula E circuit has now reached 28.5 percent. The circuit has been under construction since February 3, 2022 and is targeted to be completed on March 28, 2022. The source of the funds for this project is from PT Jakarta Propertindo's company money of around Rp. 50 billion.

The shape of the Formula E track is said to be similar to a lumping horse. Then, the location of the Jakarta International E-Prix Circuit has 18 bends, 600 meters of straight track, clockwise direction, and 2.4 kilometers of track length.

After completion of construction, the circuit will be reviewed and tested by FEO as the license holder of Formula E. Until finally, Formula E will officially be held in Ancol on June 4, 2022.
