JAKARTA - Formula E racer from the Jaguar Racing team, Mitch Evans, said that the race at the Jakarta International E-Prix Circuit (JIEC) on Saturday, June 4 tomorrow, will be difficult to predict.

That's because Evans and 21 other riders are still blind to the track. He said, although the character of the circuit has similarities with other circuits that they have tried, JIEC still has its own characteristics

"This race is very difficult to predict even though there are some parts that are the same but after all it will have its own characteristics. So, the most important thing in racing is careful preparation because then we will be able to finish the race," he said.

Apart from being a new circuit in this year's Formula E calendar, another challenge that drivers may face is the weather in Jakarta.

As is known, Jakarta is currently in a very hot condition. This led each racing team to be good at managing their car management to suit the weather.

"There are some challenges, especially the difference in weather, humidity and temperature. The difference in automatic temperature is different from the performance of the vehicle. Racing here is definitely very different, but I try to learn from the previous one. So, I focus on how to give a good performance, "said Evans.

Evans himself failed to get on the podium in two races that took place at the Berlin E-Prix. At that time he finished fifth in the first race and tenth in the second race.

Evans currently sits fourth in the drivers' standings. The New Zealand driver is twenty-eight points behind Stoffel Vandoorne, who temporarily leads the electric land jet championship standings.
