JAKARTA - BUMD PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) said that the construction of the Formula E circuit in the Ancol area, North Jakarta was quite short.

Vice Managing Director of Formula E Jakpro, Gunung Kartiko, said that the asphalt construction on the Formula E track is different from the more complicated asphalt for MotoGP. Formula E asphalt material, said Gunung, is the same as road asphalt.

"Formula E is typical for road racing. Because this is a city track, so actually the asphalt is asphalt on the road. For Mandalika (MotoGP) it uses special specifications. It's different from Formula E," said Gunung at the DKI DPRD building, Wednesday. , February 16.

Likewise with the implementation of Formula E in other countries. Gunung revealed that the electric car racing circuits in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia and Mexico also use road asphalt.

Then, continued Gunung, Formula E Operation (FEO) as the holder of the Formula E license in early February had also directly reviewed the asphalt material and barrier that had been prepared.

"The FEO team came to Jakarta on February 1 yesterday. Look at the quality of the stone, what kind of asphalt. Yesterday's review was quite effective," said Gunung. Gunung targets the circuit construction progress to have reached 50 percent at that time.

Thus, Gunung guarantees that the circuit work can be completed within three months until next April. Then, in May, trials can be carried out, before the implementation on June 4, 2022.

"That's why, if someone talks that (the circuit) won't be completed in 3 months because it only takes months to build Mandalika, yes, the specs are different," he explained.
