Formula E leaves green footprint in Jakarta with beach clean-up, plant donation, eco cups, and other sustainable initiatives
Image credit: Formula E Formula E is not only introducing the fastest electric car, the GEN3 Evo, at the Jakarta E-Prix this year but also making an impact off the track. Several Formula E members participated in a beach clean-up on Thursday at Pantai Beach in the Ancol resort, where the race will be held. They are also engaging in local partnerships, educational initiatives, and community outreach to help reduce the environmental impact in the city. Beach clean-up by Formula E members On Thursday, June 19, Formula E, Waste4Change, and over 100 volunteers—including FE team members and drivers—joined local community members for a large-scale beach clean-up. The initiative focused on conserving marine habitats and addressing waste management, a key issue in coastal Jakarta. Julia Pallé, VP of Sustainability at Formula E, said about the drive: 'Plastic pollution is a growing problem that affects everyone around the world and is a growing challenge here in Jakarta — threatening both coastal habitats and the health of nearby communities. At every race, we are committed to engaging with local communities and aim to leave a place better than we found it. We are united as a championship with the community to clean the local area of plastic rubbish and ensure it is sustainably managed and not put back into landfill. ' Sustainable initiatives at Jakarta International E-Prix Circuit To further minimize waste at the event, free hydration stations will provide water refills to reduce reliance on single-use plastic bottles. Visitors will also receive biodegradable eco-cups made from corn starch flour as an alternative to traditional plastic. Six dedicated waste stations will be set up for proper recycling and plastic waste management. How Formula E is making an impact in Jakarta Formula E has undertaken several more sustainability initiatives in Jakarta. A Formula E delegation visited the Waste4Change recycling center on Tuesday to learn about effective waste management practices and the role of the circular economy in conserving resources. On Wednesday, a school visit featured a panel talk on environmental education and youth leadership, along with art and cultural exchanges between students and Formula E members. Following the race, a paddock plant donation is scheduled. Trees and plants used during the event will be donated to local schools. After the race on Saturday, Formula E will host a ceremony on-site with local school students to mark the donation.

Jakarta E-Prix 2025: Schedule, how to watch Round 12 Formula E race, weather prediction
Image credit: Formula E 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.

Rain is quite likely, with a 78 percent chance of showers during the final Jakarta race in the early evening on Saturday.

Formula E 2025-26 Race Calendar Announced; New Races In Madrid, Miami
Motorsport body FIA has announced the first provisional calendar for the 2025-26 season of the Formula E World Championship. The season will mark 18 races across 12 global cities, highlights include new races in Madrid and Miami's International Autodrome for the first time. The 12th season begins on December 6, 2025, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, before the championship returns to Mexico City in January. Formula E then makes its first race appearance at the Miami International Autodrome on 31 January. February sees a nighttime double-header under the lights in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, while Madrid debuts on the calendar in March at the historic Circuito de Madrid-Jarama. It will be the first time Formula E will be held in the Spanish capital - and the first World Championship motorsport event held in the city in 37 years, since 1989. Returning venues of the all-electric series include Berlin, Tokyo, and Shanghai, each hosting double-header race weekends, while Monaco continues its role as the jewel in the crown of motorsport, hosting back-to-back races on the iconic street circuit, only the second time it has hosted World Championship races on consecutive days after it debuted earlier in May this year. The season concludes once more in London, with a climactic double-header at the Excel on 15-16 August 2026 that will round out the end of the GEN3 Evo era. Two further locations to complete the calendar are awaiting public confirmation, as end-stage negotiations are ongoing with local authorities. Jeff Dodds, CEO, Formula E, said, "Our debut in Madrid and increase in total races demonstrates our mission and intent to continually grow the series in key markets while racing at Miami's International Autodrome takes our US presence to another level at a world-class facility. As we continue to see year-on-year growth of our global fanbase and TV audiences, this calendar is certain to deliver even more exciting racing from our world-class drivers and teams for our fans to get behind."
