Jakarta DPRD Chairman, Prasetio Edi, popularly called Pras admitted he had no objections to the plan to hold the Jakarta E-Prix which Jakpro is currently finalizing.

PT Jakpro President Director, Iwan Takwin confirmed that he was finalizing all technical and non-technical preparations the upcoming E-Prix. Every two weeks, the Formula E Operation (FEO) as the global organizer of electric car racing will routinely check the circuit.

This is slated to take place on June 3 and 4, 2023. His party is currently opening communications to related parties who have the potential to sponsor the E-Prix.

"Physically, the circuit has no problems. It's just that a little maintenance is needed, such as cleaning the bushes, repainting the tracks, and barriers. We make sure this event is purely a sponsorship, without the APBD," he said.
