Reliving Jakarta Throwback: Season 9 Flashbacks
Okay, full disclosure. I hit play on this 'Reliving Jakarta' video and instantly got hit with a wave of nostalgia. They've taken us back to Jakarta in Season 9, and the energy is electric even through the screen. I smiled when I saw the 2023 race's chaotic overtakes and that one crash where everyone held their breath before the dust cleared.
