Get ready to feel the adrenaline rush of the biggest Vespa Racing championship in Indonesia
Jakarta, June 6, 2024 – Vespa racing has emerged as an electrifying phenomenon in the motorcycle racing world, captivating professional racers from various classes. This evolving trend offers a unique experience in Vespa racing championships, setting it apart from traditional motorcycle races.
The distinctive characteristics of Vespas demand racers to creatively hone and adapt their skills, presenting an exciting new challenge. Consequently, Vespa racing is not only growing in popularity but also solidifying its place in the racing community, reflecting the flexibility, speed, and adaptability of these iconic scooters.
Seizing this opportunity, Scooter Prix is set to host a series of championship events across four competition rounds, scheduled for June, August, October, and November 2024, with total prizes exceeding 400 million Rupiah. The first round of the competition will kick off on June 29-30, 2024, at Sentul International Karting Circuit, West Java.
Scooter Prix 2024, officially sponsored by Pertamina, aims to foster the future of two-wheel sports and the burgeoning racing industry, nurturing young Indonesian racers who can excel both nationally and internationally.
Priambodo Soesetyo, Co-Founder and Project Director of Scooter Prix, stated, “We aim to make Vespa racing in Indonesia a destination event for other countries, much like Thailand is famed as a drag race haven for motorbike and car enthusiasts. Thus, the sportainment industry, motorsports, and tourism will thrive.”
Fadjar Djoko Santoso, Vice President of Corporate Communication at PT Pertamina (Persero), expressed Pertamina’s enthusiasm for the collaboration, “We are thrilled about this partnership. Pertamina is committed to supporting the development of young Indonesian talent. Through our collaboration with the Scooter Prix Series, we believe we can cultivate racers capable of competing on a global level. This initiative is a concrete step in advancing Indonesia’s motorsport industry, providing broader access and better facilities for young racers.”

All the thrilling action will be broadcast live on NET TV, the official broadcaster of Scooter Prix 2024, giving Vespa racing fans the chance to witness the competition firsthand.
In addition to the Vespa racing championship, Scooter Prix will host a variety of collaborative events with scooter communities across regions like Jakarta, Banten, West Java, West Sumatra, Bangka Belitung, Central Java, Kalimantan, and Bali.
