Sentul to host one-make race

JAKARTA: Twenty drivers are slated to take part in the six- series 2005 Getz One-Make Race beginning in March at the Sentul International Circuit.

"We are attempting to encourage (development) of the automotive sport and giving an opportunity to sport lovers for their driving hobby," Yongki Sugiharto from organizer Hyundai Mobil Indonesia said at a press conference here on Wednesday.

Among the participants, some of whom have been seeded in an effort to maintain competitiveness, is national veteran and last year's champion Chandra Alim.

It will be a 10-lap competition at the 4.120-kilometer Sentul circuit in Bogor, West Java. -- JP
