About Sentul International Circuit
Overview
Sentul International Circuit is a permanent racing circuit at Sentul City in Babakan Madang, Bogor Regency, West Java, close to the Jagorawi toll road that links Jakarta with Bogor. It was designed to Formula One standards, the first serious attempt in Asia outside Japan to build such a track, and it has hosted world championship motorcycle racing, the A1 Grand Prix and the GP2 Asia Series. Today it hosts mostly motorcycle racing, together with rounds of the Indonesia Sentul Series of Motorsport held through the year, and it is also rented out for test drives, safety driving courses and product launches. The grandstands hold around 50,000 spectators.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
The circuit is 3.965 km long and 15 m wide, and its main straight of about 900 m runs past the pits. The track is broad and smooth, with large run-off areas and wide corners that allow different racing lines and make overtaking possible. The straight allows speeds of up to 300 km/h before the braking zone for Turn 1. Turn 2, an S-shaped bend taken at speed after the tighter first corner, is the only truly fast corner on the lap. The present track is a shortened version of the original design, about 40 percent shorter than first planned. The site lies in hilly country at the foot of the Jonggol Mountains, slightly cooler than Jakarta but still hot and humid, conditions that tuners, riders and drivers used to cooler European climates find hard.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
The paddock has 50 pit garages and the spectator areas include two covered grandstands. The circuit lists a control tower, press room, scrutineering bay, medical centre, podium, hospitality room, driver rest area, mosque, museum, showroom and fuel station among its facilities. Separate motocross, autocross and go-kart tracks share the site, and the complex also includes a three-star hotel, guest houses, a golf course, a restaurant and a recreation centre. Beyond racing, the venue is hired out for concerts, fairs and exhibitions and private gatherings.
History
The project began around 1990, when Hutomo Mandala Putra, a racing enthusiast and son of President Suharto, promoted the construction of a circuit at Sentul to replace the short and dangerous Jaya Ancol circuit in North Jakarta. Sentul was officially opened in August 1993 with the Indonesian Grand Prix for Formula Holden cars. Its tight corners and shortened length ruled out Formula One, but the Superbike World Championship visited from 1994 to 1997 and the motorcycle Grand Prix of Indonesia was held there in 1996 and 1997. The 1997 Asian financial crisis made racing unaffordable for many Indonesian competitors, and the opening of Sepang in Malaysia in 1999 overshadowed the circuit. It later hosted two A1 Grand Prix rounds in the mid-2000s, the GP2 Asia Series in 2008 and the Asia Road Racing Championship for many seasons until 2018, as well as the para-cycling road race of the 2018 Asian Para Games. Plans to bring MotoGP back to Sentul came to nothing, and the Indonesian round went to Mandalika in 2022.
