Seatoday.com Jakarta Bad news for racing fans in Indonesia. FIA has officially released the Formula Electric car race calendar for the 2024 season and Jakarta is not in the Formula E list. Jakarta participated in the last two seasons.
Initially, Jakarta was included in the temporary calendar for Formula E 2024, which will take place on 8th June. However, the FIA ultimately did not include Jakarta when the official 2024 Formula E calendar was released.
The FIA reasoned that it had excluded Jakarta because of the political situation. In June 2024, there will be a presidential election campaign. It is feared that the presidential election campaign will disrupt Formula E logistics.
“This will impact the logistics of holding the race on the streets of the capital at the same time. Formula E and the authorities in Jakarta are exploring the possibility of holding the race in the city on alternative dates,” said Formula E’s official statement.
In addition, Shanghai and Hyderabad were confirmed as host cities in season 10 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship following approvalat the FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting on October 19th.
Formula E will race for the first time in Shanghai on May 25th and May 26th at the Shanghai international circuit. Tokyo was also confirmed to host a race on March 30th, the first time a motor sport world championship race will be held on the street of the iconic Japanese capital. (Rzk)
