Nasib Formula E Impian Anies yang Kini di Ujung Tanduk  

JAKARTA - Several months ago, the DKI Provincial Government was confident that it could hold a Formula E racing event in 2022. However, now the dream of the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, is in danger of being crushed.

The International Automotive Federation (FIA) as the manager of Formula E in New York, United States (US), has released a provisional calendar for the implementation of Formula E in 2022.

On its official website, fiaformulae.com, the FIA released 16 races in 12 cities. However, there is no name Jakarta in the list of organizers. However, one schedule with TBD information or to be determined on June 4, 2022.

FIA Formula E Co-Founder Alberto Longo said DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan asked for additional time to be appointed as one of the organizers of the electric car racing event.

"We planned to go (to hold) there, but the Governor (Anies) himself asked for time to (postpone) the announcement of the race (for the Jakarta location)," said Alberto.

Responding to this, the Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria, admitted that he had only just found out. "We'll check it later. I just heard about Formula E," said Riza at City Hall, Central Jakarta.

Riza said the BUMD PT Jakpro as the implementer of Formula E in Jakarta would follow up. "It will be checked at Jakpro which is given the task of managing and implementing Formula E in Jakarta in 2022," he said.

The blank name of Jakarta in the calendar of the organizers of this electric car racing event raises a question mark. Because, a few months ago, Riza believed that Formula E could be held in 2022 after being postponed for 2 years since 2020.

If in 2022 the COVID-19 pandemic still hits, Riza, namely DKI, will be able to hold Formula E by implementing health protocols.

"God willing, in 2022 we will implement Formula E in Jakarta. Of course, in accordance with regulations, provisions, etc., and health protocols, if indeed 2022 is still quite high," Riza said on March 22.

The provisional schedule for the 2022 Formula E electric car race is as follows: 

1. Series 1 and 2 in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia on January 28-29 2022 

2. Series 3 Mexico City, Mexico on February 12, 2022
