Jakarta International e-Prix Circuit

The proposal of the Jakarta ePrix was first announced in July 2019, with mid-2020 announced as the target date for an inaugural race.^[1] The originally intended location, the National Monument and the Merdeka Square was rejected along with a proposal for the use of the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.^{[citation needed]} Originally, there were 5 options being proposed: Jenderal Sudirman Street, Indah Kapuk Beach, Jakarta International Expo, Jakarta International Stadium, and the Ancol region.^[2] With the Ancol region being announced as the location in January 2022.^[3]

This circuit has been under construction since 2022.^{[citation needed]} In January 2022, the Governor of Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, inaugurated the Jakarta International e-Prix Circuit.^[4] The track's construction was completed a week before the ePrix week.

The circuit has 18 corners. The circuit layout is inspired by the Kuda lumping horse and is driven clockwise. The circuit features a start/finish line straight of 600 m (2,000 ft).^[5] Turn 1 is a wide right-hander with multiple choices of racing lines which generates ample overtaking opportunities, followed by two right-handers and two fast left-handers approaching the mall straight. The double left-right 90-degree turns after the mall straight is continued by a tricky and fast S-section, into a straight. The Turn 13 hairpin is the hardest braking zone in the track, followed by a right-left kink. Turn 16 has widening and banking on the outside line to accommodate the attack-mode activation zone. The lap ends with a fast left-hander and a sharp right-hander. Formula E driver Lucas di Grassi has described the track as, "having a good mixture of low, medium and high-speed corners and will test every aspect of car performance."^[6]
