Indonesia will run a candidate rally this September, hoping to gain WRC status for the first time in thirteen years.
Rally Indonesia was last run in 1997 with Carlos Sainz crossing the finish line in first place. Sainz was driving the Ford Escort WRC for the Ford World Rally Team, run by M-Sport & Malcolm Wilson.
Representitives of the rally where in Amman during the Jordan Rally to promote the rally. A spokesperson for the event said in Amman: “We believe Indonesia has a great deal to offer the WRC. We’re very excited about the candidate rally coming up and we think we have everything in place to run a very successful round of the series.”
The event has had Asia-Pacific Rally Championship status since 2005 & the event runs in suger plantations to the south of the Capital. Roads are clay-based & the rally has been run in the driest month of the year, to ensure all stages are of driveable condition. Service will be based in the Trans Studio, the largest indoor theme park in the world.
