Someone should thank the guy who came up with Wikipedia. It's brilliant and I love it to bits. What does it have to do with today's post you ask? Well here's a little bit of Wikipedia magic...
History
The first serious attempt outside Japan of constructing a Formula One circuit in Asia came in Indonesia around 1990 when Hutomo Mandala Putra, son of president Suharto, was behind the construction of a track at Sentul. At 4.12 km, the Sentul International Circuit was supposed to be Indonesia's Formula One showcase to the world, until the 1997 Asian financial crisis kicked in. Completed in 1994, the facility has been overcome by technological changes, making it unsuitable to the fast and furious world of Formula One. But it was fine for the drivers competing in the 4th leg of the Pertamina Fastron Asian Formula 3 Super Series.
