The countdown for the Jakarta E-Prix has begun. Formula E is returning to Indonesia after a gap of two seasons. The race will be held at the Jakarta International E-Prix Circuit (Ancol Beach street track), which witnessed a record-breaking audience last season. The Formula E drivers have reached Indonesia along with their all-new GEN3 Evo cars and may have to deal with a rainy race. Here’s all about the timing, broadcasting details, and weather forecast for the Jakarta E-Prix.
Jakarta E-Prix schedule
The Jakarta E-Prix will start with the first free practice race, FP1, of 55 minutes on Friday, June 21 at 4 PM local time (2:30 PM IST). It’s a packed schedule on Saturday with the second free practice race, FP2, starting at 8 AM local time (6:30 AM IST). The Qualifying race will begin at 10:20 AM local time (8:50 AM IST) and will end by 11:43 AM. The final Jakarta Formula E race is scheduled on the same day at 3 PM local time (1:35 PM IST) and is expected to take around an hour to complete.
Weather prediction
The Formula E drivers will have to brace for a wet race once again. Light rain is very likely on Day 1 during the first free practice race on Friday, but the drivers can utilize it to practice on a wet track in order to prepare for the final race, which may also witness a shower. The temperature is expected to remain around 27 degrees Celsius on Friday.There are comparatively lower chances of rain on Saturday, but the intensity may be higher. The temperature will remain around 26–27 degrees Celsius despite the cloud cover. There is a 59 percent chance of rain in the morning during FP2 and a 70 percent chance of rain during Qualifying, which will end before noon. Rain is quite likely, with a 78 percent chance of showers during the final Jakarta race in the early evening on Saturday.
One cannot take rain lightly during a car race, as it played a major spoilsport at the Tokyo double-header last month when the Qualifying race was canceled and the grid order was based on free practice results.
