JAKARTA - The Jakarta 2022 Formula E event will take place on June 4, 2022. However, the progress of the circuit construction is confirmed to be delayed and the target audience is lowered.

Social media activist Yusuf Muhammad questioned the performance of the Governor's Team for the Acceleration of Development (TGUPP) formed by the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, whose salaries were high. According to him, this problem should be analyzed and anticipated TGUPP so that it does not happen.

"TGUPP, whose salary is tens of millions, doesn't anyone want to explain this to netizens? Don't just eat blind salaries. Don't let any racers crash", he said on his Twitter account, @yusuf_dumdum, Tuesday, March 29.

The construction of the Formula E Circuit at Carnival Beach, south of Ancol Beach City (ABC Mall) is confirmed to have passed the predetermined schedule on 27 March 2022.

Even several actions need to be taken at the Formula E Circuit to prevent drivers from experiencing danger when stepping on the gas in the race event.

Previously, President Director of BUMD PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) Widi Amanasto targeted Formula E to attract 50 thousand spectators. This statement was also made by the Chief Executive of Formula E, Ahmad Sahroni.

However, over time, when the construction of the Formula E circuit was underway, the organizers' optimism about the target capacity of 50 thousand spectators faded.

On Friday, March 25, a member of the Gerindra faction of the DKI Regional House of Representatives, Syarif, said that a minimum number of 10 seats will be installed for spectators. He received this information from a report by PT Jakpro.

"This is being reviewed considering the situation of the crowd. The minimum estimate (number of spectator seats) is 10 thousand", said Syarif while reviewing the construction of the circuit in the Ancol area, North Jakarta.
