Cikarang to host national off-road race

JAKARTA (JP): No less than 100 drivers will pit their skills
against the first leg of the national off-road series in
Cikarang, West Java on June 1 and June 2.

Event coordinator, Pempy Soeworo, said yesterday that
Indonesia's top 10 drivers have confirmed they will participate
in the race which offers formidable tests on three special stages
covering 12 kilometers.

"The likes of national top off-roaders James Sanger, Agus
Budiman and Moko Harsono look set for a survival of the fittest
bout during the race," Pempey predicted.

A total of Rp 10 million (US$4,300) in prize money is up for
grabs in the two-day event, where participants will be pursuing
both their individual and team pride.

Organizers of the off-road championships, jointly organized by
Jababeka Group and the Indonesian Motor Association, split the
participants into standard, modification, full modification and
classic categories. The classic division is open only to cars
over 21 years old.

Participating drivers will be given two days of official
