Approximately 100,000 spectators are expected this weekend to watch local heroes Ananda Mikola and Moreno Soeprapto. They will battle former F1 champs and other international racing talent to the finish line.
Sentul International Circuit is 3.97 kilometers long and located approximately 42 kilometers south of Jakarta. The longer corners on the track enable varied racing lines, and the 900m (2700 feet) start-finish straight ensures overtaking opportunities into turn one. Rain is expected over the weekend, adding another unpredictable element to the races this weekend.
The debut Speedcar Series race in Dubai on the 25th and 26th of January, featured tumultuous action that escalated on Race Day 2. Giannni Morbidelli won back to back races and will be the one to watch for the upcoming race weekend.
