インドネシアで初のフォーミュラEダブルヘッダー
How To Watch The 2023 Gulavit Jakarta E-Prix

 

• Formula E returns to Indonesia for expanded double-header race weekend with new leaders in Drivers’ and Teams’ standings
• Nick Cassidy and Envision Racing go into the 2023 GulaVit Jakarta E-Prix on top after overcoming Porsche’s early-season dominance
• Huge Indonesian fanbase will see the GEN3 race car in action for the first time

Formula E returns to Jakarta this weekend with Nick Cassidy and his Envision Racing team both leading the ABB FIA Formula World Championship standings after powering past long-time leader Pascal Wehrlein and his TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team last time out in Monaco.

Following the championship’s debut in Indonesia last season and the huge welcome from fans who packed the area around the Jakarta International E-Prix Circuit in Ancol Beach, the 2023 Gulavit Jakarta E-Prix has expanded to a double-header with Rounds 10 and 11 taking place this weekend (Saturday, 3 June and Sunday, 4 June).

Indonesia is home to 273 million people and a huge contingent of motorsport fans who made last year’s debut the most-watched live race by a domestic audience in Formula E history.

This year, fans will see the Southeast Asia debut of the GEN3 – the fastest, lightest, most powerful and efficient electric race car ever built. They will also be hoping for more twists in the storyline of this season’s gripping championship following Kiwi Cassidy’s storming drive from ninth on the grid in Monaco to win the race and go top of the standings.

Cassidy led home Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) and was under severe duress from his countryman and factory Jaguar driver until a late-race Safety Car made the win certain.

時速150kmのチェスのように、モナコでのレースは流れが激しく、上位陣が牽制し合いながらペースを刻んでいったが、キャシディのレース序盤の決定的な動きが最終的な結果をもたらした。4周目のフェアモント・ヘアピンでI-TYPE 6を3台のライバルカーのアウト側に完璧に配置し、7周目にはATTACK MODE第1ラウンドの発動で早くもトップに立った。

彼のエンジニアが6周のスプリント・フィニッシュのグリーン・シグナルを出すと、キャシディは2位でフィニッシュしたエバンスにもかかわらず、後ろを振り返ることはなかった。

この勝利により、キャシディは121ポイントを獲得し、ドライバーズランキングで長年トップのタグ・ホイヤー ポルシェのウェーレインに20ポイントの差をつけている。

ウェーレインはディリヤでの第2戦と第3戦からリードしていたが、このドイツ人の調子が落ちたことで、ジャガー・エンジンを搭載したエンヴィジョンと、昨年のインドネシアでの勝者であるエヴァンスが率いるファクトリー・ジャガーTCSレーシングに道が開かれた。

Jake Dennis (Avalanche Andretti) is in third place in the standings on 96 pts following a return to form in Monaco with third place in the race. Evans is just two points back on 94 pts.

Jean-Éric Vergne in the DS PENSKE did enough to leave Monaco fifth in the running after a stunning recovery from the very back of the pack to finish seventh.

In the Teams’ standings, Envision Racing has leapt to the top on 182 pts, 14 pts ahead of TAG Heuer Porsche on 169 pts, while Jaguar TCS Racing sits third on 156 pts.

The Porsche 99X Electric still has the performance within but unlocking it consistently over a lap and in qualifying appears to be an ongoing and potentially costly issue, especially with new standings leader Cassidy sealing two wins and four further podiums in the last six rounds.

The GulaVit Jakarta E-Prix double-header offers plenty of points for all that to change. Everyone from Vergne upwards in the title race is in with a shot of heading into the final third of the inaugural GEN3 campaign on top.

Saturday’s race will be 36 laps and 38 laps on Sunday’s race, meaning teams and drivers will need to adjust their race strategies across the double-header weekend.

RETURN TO A NEW FORMULA E FAVOURITE:

Formula E’s 11 teams and 22 drivers faced a new challenge at the Jakarta International E-Prix Circuit last season. The purpose-built street track brings the best elements of street racing to picturesque Ancol Beach – Southeast Asia’s largest park, welcoming some 40,000 visitors a day.

Unique banked sections, undulations, bumps and a mix of technical and high-speed sections will provide a real test. A sellout crowd enjoyed the inaugural encounter in the city last year complete with a city festival.

The 2.37km, 18-turn circuit kicks off with a tight opening sector after a long run down the start/finish straight. There is plenty of room for maneuver into the right hander at Turn 1 before drivers head into a flowing series of turns that swoop by Ancol Beach City.

The final sector is a tricky complex following a fast right-hander at Turn 12 and another long straight into what will be a busy Turn 13 hairpin. An awkward left-hander at Turn 18 rounds out the lap with a strong slingshot required down the long home straight.

サーキットの開発は、市内に永続的な遺産を残し、アンコール・ビーチに新たな息吹を吹き込み、パンデミック後の同市の観光復興を後押しすることを目的としている。市当局はまた、インドネシアが2050年までにEV完全移行を進めるにあたり、この場所を技術革新の潜在的な中心地として位置づけている。

The event will be 100% powered by sustainably-sourced HVO and as ever in the world’s first net zero sport, the 2023 GulaVit Jakarta E-Prix is a net zero carbon event. Formula E will measure, reduce, and offset all its unavoidable emissions by investing in renewable energy production.

LAST TIME OUT IN JAKARTA:

2022年に初開催されるフォーミュラEにとって、22人のワールドクラスのドライバーで構成されるチャンピオンシップのグリッドは未知の領域だったが、会場の大観衆と記録的なテレビ中継の視聴者のおかげで、3人のドライバーが1秒以内にラインを通過した。

Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) fended off the close attentions of Jean-Éric Vergne and Edoardo Mortara to take his third win of Season 8.
