JAKARTA - Ahmad Sahroni as Chairman of the Organizing Committee (OC) of Formula E Jakarta guarantees the security of logistics receipts for the international electric car racing event. Sahroni said the organizers would carry out the process of receiving and preparing logistics cargo according to applicable standards.

"This (Formula E logistics receipt) is more specific, they (the cargo recipients) are more careful. Although the authority of Customs, but for the inspection of racing equipment it is part of our custom. Hopefully according to the rules, it will not be like before," said Ahmad Sahroni to VOI, Thursday, May 19.

Sahroni said that the security guarantee was related to the concerns that arose during the previous international event. When receiving the logistics for the Mandalika MotoGP at the beginning of last year, an incident occurred when the cargo of one of the manufacturers did not comply with work standards.

Sahroni said that the previous incident was an important note for all parties involved in organizing Formula E in Jakarta so that they would not make the same mistake.

"This is a correction for all of us in the implementation of international events so that mistakes don't happen again," he continued.

Formula E in Jakarta will take place on June 4. With the time approaching, Sahroni revealed that the logistics and cars for the race are currently in the process of being delivered.

"The (delivery) process may be a week before the new (event) arrives," said Sahroni.

Upon arrival in Jakarta, Sahroni said that the racing cars for Formula E would immediately be placed in the paddock and would only be prepared for racing three days before the event.

The preparation of the car will also be carried out by each team considering that many of them have never tried the existing track. Moreover, the circuit for Formula E in Jakarta is also a new circuit and has recently been completed.

"Yes, immediately put it in the paddock in the container first, then it will be taken out to be prepared," he said.

"The riders have also never tried a circuit in the world, namely Jakarta. Physically they haven't tried, so on that day it will be a bit exciting and hopefully there will be no crashing incident," said Sahroni.
