Having considered fꦺive places as an option, finally Ancol was decided as the Jakarta E-Prix venue for June 2022🅘.

This was confirmed in a press conference attended by The Chairman of the Organising Committee for Formula E Jakarta 2022 Ahmad Sahroni together with The President Direc💖tor of PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) Widi Amanasto, and The President Director of PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol Tbk. Teuku Sahir Syahali.

In the event that was held on Wednesday morning Indonesian time, Sahroni said there were several factors that made Ancol the chosen locatio🅘n. 

While there are many iconic locations in Jakarta such as Monas (National Monument), Gelora Bung Karnꦛo Stadium, or Sudirman Business District, Ancol is located in Northern side of the City, and thus the event would not interfere the public daily activities like other nominated venues, which are located in the heart of the capital.

"For the Formula E e꧋vent, which God willing, will be held in June based on a joint decision and assessment by FEO (Formula E Operati🌊ons) and FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile), the location has been chosen, it is in the Ancol area, North Jakarta," said Sahroni.

"There are several things that we ta🌸ke into consideration, such as iconic places in Jakarta, and also in accordance with FEO and FIA standards. In addition, other consi🌌derations are not disturbing public facilities.

"As we all know, if it is held in the Gelor🅺a Bung Karno or Sudirman area, it will require a closure for several days, and that is certainꩵly not possible. Likewise at Monas."

Sahroni also explained that the Circuit for the Jakarta E-Prix will sooꦯn be built according specification of the FEO and FIA, with a target completion in April 2022, or two months before the event.

“The E-Prix track is a road track, so the specifications are similar ൩to the normal public roads. The location for making tracks is relatively solid an🎃d level, so that track work can be done quickly. Furthermore, the paddock, stage and grandstand are semi-permanent, so it only takes one month to install and demolish," he continued.
