The venue was on Sentul International Circuit. Sentul itself was designed for F1 Motor Racing standard since 1993. The 22 years old circuit was the only circuit that can challenge all the racing enthusiast and truly a car enthusiast on the track and high speed condition. The circuit located in Bogor area, much cooler area than Jakarta. But the pressure of the track was really serious. The sun breeze burning our skin and also the high tension caused by the hi rev Honda engines.
