TANGERANG - Polda Metro Jaya plans to hold a street race event in the month of Ramadan this year. The event is planned to be held in the area of Jalan Gipti, BSD City, Pagedangan, Tangerang Regency.

South Tangerang Police Traffic Head AKP Dicky Sutarman said this time the street race had a new theme. Not only motorcycles as before, cars are also given space to participate in the race.

"The first day is for car racing, the second and third day is for motorcycles, so now there is car racing and motorcycle cross racing," said Dicky when confirmed, Sunday, April 3.

The competition will start at 14.00 WIB until 17.30 WIB. However, there is a break when entering the Asr prayer.

"The implementation will start at 14.00 WIB, because during the month of Ramadan, it will be until 17.30 WIB and there is a break time before the Asr time until the Asr prayer is finished," he said.

Dicky explained the reason for holding this street race event during the holy month of Ramadan. This is done to anticipate the existence of illegal racing that often occurs at the time of breaking the fast.

"Still called the BSD street race, we fill our time to accommodate positive activities with the street race while hanging out," he said.

When asked when it would start, Dicky couldn't say for sure. The reason is currently still in the planning process.

"The planning process for holding the BSD Street Race is planned to be held in the holy month of Ramadan. The full information will be released later by the Director of Traffic and Traffic of the Polda Metro Jaya," he said.
