Brief Profile Of ROKiT Venturi Racing, A Formula E Team That Openly Campaigns For LGBT At Ancol Circuit Anies Baswedan's Pride

JAKARTA - The factory team ROKiT Venturi Racing became a conversation after the Formula E Jakarta 2022 event was held. Not only because of their achievements but also because they openly support LGBT.

At the 2022 Formula E event in Jakarta, the manufacturer ROKiT Venturi Racing was the only team that clearly displayed a rainbow motif on every element of the team, including the driver's car and the uniforms of all staff.

For information, the following is a profile of the ROKiT Venturi Racing manufacturer compiled from various sources.

ROKiT Venturi Racing is an electric racing car manufacturer from Monaco under the leadership of CEO Susie Wolff. The team was first founded by Venturi Automobiles owner Gildo Pallanca Pastor in 2014.

Since its inception, this manufacturer has directly participated in the first electric car race organized by ABB FIA Formula E. Under the leadership of the head of the team, Jerome D'Ambrosio, ROKiT Venturi Racing began to show its rise among other Formula E participating manufacturers.

The team celebrated its first win in Hong Kong in 2019. The victory could not be separated from the slick performance of their drivers, where they currently have Edoardo Mortara and Lucas di Grassi.

Before the Formula E event in Jakarta, Susie Wolff had intensively voiced that their team would show full support for LGBT as proof that their team also supports equality.

“As a team, we wanted to do something other than putting a flag on our car. We want to use this (Formula E) as an opportunity to develop our fans, show our diversity and hopefully make others aware of our community", he said as quoted from the official ROKiT Venturi Racing website recently.
