The Jakarta Street Circuit will be a temporary street circuit in Lippo Village near Jakarta, Indonesia. The track was confirmed to host a round of the 2008-09 A1 Grand Prix season, set for the weekend of February 8, 2009.

On August 29, 2008, further details regarding the track were announced. Designed by Hermann Tilke, the track will be made by modifying parts of the village near the Pelita Harapan University and includes the Supermal. It will be located at the centre of Lippo Village's hub. Tilke will attempt to keep disruption minimal to the village during the races but the track's maximum speed will be designed for more than 300km/h with the average speed of 176km/h. Part of the Pelita Harapan University’s planned extentions will be utilized to double the pit lane capacity during the A1GP races. The track will showcasing Lippo Village and the surrounding businesses.

However, the event removed from the 2008-09 A1 Grand Prix season's calendar because the local promoter and organisers, who are responsible to the project of track construction, have failed to meet the requisite completion deadlines and the track is not yet able to homologate by FIA before 6-8 February 2009.
