BOGOR - The inaugural Series OnePrix 2023 was completed at the end of yesterday. The riders competed with each other at the Sentul Karting Circuit, March 18-19.
The first round of OnePrix 2023 introduces two new concepts, namely Superpole Race and Safety Bike. This concept has actually been applied to a number of international racing events.
Superpole is an extra race with the aim of determining the leading starting position. The selection was based on the top nine results of the quality practice.
The nine riders were pitted back in the Superpole to determine the final composition of the nine leading names that filled the starting grid, as reported by the OnePrix release.
This concept is considered the right way to improve the quality of competition. The reason is, drivers must fight extra to become champions.
"The goal is in addition to presenting a racing spectacle that is increasingly attractive to the audience, this Superpole Race can also improve the quality of the competition itself," said OnePrix Competition Director, Mago Sarwono.
"So, even though they managed to become the fastest in the qualifying race, they had to compete again for the leading position on the starting grid," he continued.
In addition, the number of laps for the first round race in each class has also changed. As in the Expert class, which this season applies 24-lap regulations.
This step was enthusiastically welcomed by one of the riders, M Faerozi. He said this regulation would have a positive impact on the riders.
"With the increasing number of laps, we can better set a strategy to achieve maximum results. We have to take into account the resilience of tires, the physical, and also a mature strategy," he said.
