JAKARTA - Formula E racing event in Jakarta will continue this year. Formula E Operation (FEO) has included its implementation schedule in Jakarta on June 3 and 4, 2023 in its race calendar.

"2023 is included in the FEO race calendar which was officially announced through its web. The event will be held for 2 days, tentatively, June 3 and 4," said VP Corporate Secretary of PT Jakarta Propertindo Syachrial Syarif in a short message, Friday, January 6.

Syachrial said, Jakpro as the BUMD organizer of Formula E will still coordinate intensively with FEO as the license holder of Formula E regarding the preparation of the team that will be assigned to this electric car racing event.

In addition, the format of the Jakarta E-Prix racing event and concept is still in the brewing stage. Likewise with sponsorship candidates who will participate in this year's race.

"Jakpro again hopes for the support of all parties so that the global campaign sustainability can run smoothly," said Syachrial.

Meanwhile, Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono has given Jakpro the green light to organize Formula E this year.

This is because, unlike Formula E, which was held when Anies Baswedan was still in office in 2022, this year's race was held under a business to business (B2B) scheme by the organizers of BUMD.

Thus, the government element in the DKI Provincial Government is not involved in planning the implementation.

"Yes, that's fine. Right, the business to business contract, Jakpro only. This is similar to wanting to make a morning run event. If they feel the event is running smoothly, go ahead. Right, the contract has been (conducted)," said Heru.
