JAKARTA - The organizing committee for Formula E Jakarta pampers the audience with a number of entertainment. One of them is providing a virtual car race simulator game.

This game is provided free of charge for electric car racing spectators at the Jakarta International E-Prix Circuit (JIEC) Ancol.

There are no special conditions for spectators of Formula E 2023 who want to play car racing games. The audience just has to come to the location and meet the committee around the game arena.

"It can be found at the Beach City International Stadium Mall, Ancol, North Jakarta, from 08.00 to 19.00 WIB," said the person in charge of the game, Ryden.

"Come and meet the committee wearing blue clothes, then the list shows the Formula E ticket to the committee," he continued, as quoted from Antara, Saturday, June 3.

However, there is something that must be filled with the audience if you want to use the simulator. Ryden asked the audience to queue if the 15 simulator units provided are still used by other viewers.

"For example, if the queue is full, the audience will get a queue number. He can come back later," he said.

Although the game is open from 08.00 to 19.00 WIB, the game will be temporarily suspended during the Formula E race.

Ryden said there was a competition held by the simulator game committee for the audience. Spectators who win this simulator game will get a prize.

"There is a competition. The fastest and winner will get a prize sponsored by Tag Heuer. The winner will get a gift bag (goodie bag) containing t-shirts, hats, towels and drinking bottles. Unfortunately there are no watches," said Ryden.

The audience who want to play this virtual racing simulator will be given seven minutes with two to three laps.

"One game is seven minutes. It will play two to three laps. If it's really fast, it can take up to four minutes (to play games)," he said.

Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono has tried an electric vehicle (EV) simulator while reviewing the Jakarta E-Prix 2023 Esports Championship at Lot 8 SCBD, South Jakarta, on May 28.

At that time, Heru expressed the impression of playing this racing simulator game was quite difficult.

The existence of the simulator unit is the organizing committee's way of enlivening the Formula E electric car racing event which was held in Jakarta this year in two racing series at once (double header).
