Formula E returns to Jakarta this weekend for Round 12 of Season 11. The all-electric series brings the new GEN3 Evo car to Indonesia for the first time. Expect speed, strategy, and a tight title fight on the 2.37 km Ancol Beach street circuit.
The E-Prix track runs through the largest park in Southeast Asia and includes a mix of tight corners, bumps, and long straights. The track starts with a high-speed run into Turn 1 and ends with a tricky hairpin at Turn 18. The attack mode in Turn 16 will add a challenge to the known track. It’s fast, technical, and perfect for overtaking.
“I’m really excited to return to Jakarta. This circuit holds very special memories for me. I’m looking forward to racing in front of the passionate Indonesian fans, who always give us such an incredible welcome.” – Maximilian Günther, DS Penske driver
This is Formula E’s third visit to Jakarta. In 2022, Mitch Evans won a close race by just a second. A year later, Maximilian Günther took a win for Maserati, marking the Trident’s first single-seater victory since 1957. The Jakarta E-Prix has history — and it always delivers drama.
Rowland Leads, But the Pack Is Close
Oliver Rowland leads the championship on 171 points. The Nissan driver has already taken four wins and three second places this season. His nearest rival, Pascal Wehrlein, trails by 68 points.
It’s been a wild season. Seven different drivers have won in the first eleven races. Fifteen drivers have made it to the podium. Every team has scored a top-three finish. This GEN3 Evo era is tight, fast, and unpredictable. Jakarta could be key. With only four rounds left, a good result here could set the tone for the final charge toward the title.
More Than Racing
With Formula E’s mission to host more than just a sports event, this E-Prix weekend offers much more than just racing. The Fan Village is packed with simulators, live music, food stalls, and a Kids’ Area focused on innovation and sustainability. Big names like DJs Dipha Barus, Una and Patricia Schuldtz will perform live.
Formula E also puts sustainability at the heart of the event. Power will come from renewable HVO fuel and the grid. Local projects get support through the Better Futures Fund, including a €25,000 grant to Yayasan Perempuan dan Anak Amirah. The initiative helps women, disabled people and youth lead on climate action.
Other community events include:
- A large beach clean-up
- Visits to schools and recycling centres
- Workshops for local girls through “FIA Girls on Track”
- A plant donation ceremony after the race
Get ready for high stakes, high speed, and high tension as Formula E lights up Jakarta. With the title race wide open, every session counts — from Free Practice to lights out on Saturday afternoon. Will Rowland stay ahead? Can a someone shake things up? Strap in, follow the sessions, and don’t miss a second. The 2025 Jakarta E-Prix is ready to electrify.
