Aarti Dabas, Formula E chief media officer, said: “Formula E’s unique racing format clearly appeals to the huge and passionate motorsport fanbase in Indonesia. The Jakarta E-Prix made history twice as our first race in Indonesia and for attracting the biggest live audience from a single market.

“This has set a new standard for Formula E’s live broadcast coverage and as we continue to grow as a world championship, we expect to further unlock the potential for live audience growth across our 150+ international TV markets.”

The Jakarta E-Prix was the ninth round on Formula E’s 16-race calendar. The series’ next race will be held in Marrakesh, Morocco, on July 7.

This will be followed by three double-header race weekends to complete the season with the New York E-Prix (July 16 and 17), London E-Prix (30 and 31 July), and climaxing with the Seoul E-Prix (August 13 and 14).
