JAKARTA - The Formula E Organizing Committee said the race circuit in Ancol, North Jakarta was made more difficult than the circuit designs of other countries which also held it.
Irawan Sucahyono, Vice President of Infrastructure & General Affairs of OC Jakarta EPIX 2022, said that the circuit design at Ancol has an attack mode that allows overtaking or overtaking. However, this overtake will not be easy for the racers to do.
"There is such a thing as Attack Mode, where the power of the racing car will be electronically amplified. If the racer enters Attack Mode, he will get additional power so that overtaking will occur. But overtake cannot occur if the car in front of the racer is on the correct racing line", said Irawan in his statement, Tuesday, May 10.
Because the shape of the circuit in Ancol allows for overtaking, Irawan is confident that this electric car race will be interesting to watch.
“This race is for spectacle. How to make this show interesting? There has to be a lot of overtaking, there has to be a lot of competition among the racers", said Irawan.
Irawan predicts this circuit design will be an example of Formula E circuits in other countries. However, Irawan views the design of the Formula E circuit in Jakarta as difficult for other countries to follow.
“Because the geometry of the roads they (other countries) use does not allow them to make larger dimensions when entering corners. Usually, if you overtake, you can always get it on a rather long straight track. So, here we involve a lot of those positions", he said.
