The main reason is getting the permits and permission processed. Evidently Singapore is a quick process where Indonesia is a paperwork nightmare. Singapore will fill the venue every night. The first four are sold out and the 5th will also. Tourism money will be making a big influx into Singapore including those coming from Indonesia.
This is nothing new though, right? One must admit Singapore has had nicer cultural performance venues than Jakarta for years
And Formula 1 instead of …. Formula E !!
That would work but SG is in Jan
I quite like Formula E myself (though it's still a far cry from Formula 1) -- but it's a bit funny having it in Jakarta given it's not exactly a showcase for EV availability
My mother back in Ireland (not a motorsport fan) has somehow stumbled upon both of the Jakarta Formula E races and watched them (without me prompting her - I didnt even know the events were on in the city I bloody live in). She quite enjoyed the coverage and remarked that they showed off Jakarta well (I have no idea if she is just telling me that to be polite). So the coverage is getting out there in the world lolI quite like Formula E myself (though it's still a far cry from Formula 1) -- but it's a bit funny having it in Jakarta given it's not exactly a showcase for EV availability
F1 rocks first
What part of Eire may I ask?
From Wicklow! But more recently Dublin. Mum is still in Wicklow.
My father is a Kerryman.
The state is seriously supporting them, it is by design, not by accident.
