 In 2025, the Mandalika Circuit in Lombok will host a unique spectacle in the world of motorsports—a second F-1 car built entirely from scrap metal and recycled materials, designed to pioneer green technology in Indonesian racing. This project goes beyond racing; it also aims to support the growth of local small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses, especially the many small workshops spread across Lombok.

 The Creation Process with Recycled Materials

The building process for this car is anything but standard. Every component, from the frame to the core parts, is constructed from recycled metals and materials, breathing new life into items that would otherwise be deemed “waste.” This approach is challenging, as it demands that repurposed components meet the technical safety standards required for racing. Yet, through the collaboration of local workshops, this challenge is approached with innovation and a community spirit.

Empowering Small Local Businesses Through Creative Industry

Beyond racing, this second F-1 car project aims to empower Lombok’s small manufacturing businesses. By involving local workshops, the project enhances their skills and knowledge in the fields of manufacturing and automotive technology. This collaboration is not only an economic boost for the local community but also a step toward establishing Lombok as a center for green innovation, blending the principles of recycling with advanced technology.

Transitioning to Renewable Energy with Synthetic Gas

A notable aspect of this project is its commitment to renewable energy. The F-1 car is designed to operate on synthetic gas, which is produced through a waste-to-energy process that converts plastic waste into fuel. This aligns with the project's green technology vision, providing a positive environmental impact and showcasing how the racing industry can support sustainable energy solutions.

Conclusion: Promoting Green Technology for Environmental Preservation

The construction of this second F-1 car represents more than just a racing project; it serves as a symbol and platform for promoting green technology and environmental preservation. By utilizing recycled materials and developing a renewable energy fuel system, this project demonstrates that automotive innovation can contribute to sustainability. It’s hoped that this initiative will inspire similar projects and raise awareness of the importance of eco-friendly technology for a sustainable future.

Ultimately, this F-1 car, made from scrap metal and fueled by synthetic gas, will become part of Mandalika Circuit’s future and Indonesia’s green racing industry—bringing Lombok’s commitment to sustainability to the global stage.
