Lake Toba welcomes F1 PowerBoat Championship 2023 enthusiasts with natural charm

Share this article, change size.

ake Toba, North Sumatera, is the upcoming venue for the F1 PowerBoat Championship from Feb. 25-26, 2023. Touted as the biggest PowerBoat tournament, the Championship will feature 20 athletes spread across 10 teams from six countries.

Aside from being the most important event in powerboat racing, the Championship will provide ample opportunity to promote the natural beauty of Lake Toba and its surrounding areas to international spectators flying in from all over the world.

“This event is as important as the MotoGP in Mandalika, Lombok last year. Thus, we believe that the F1 PowerBoat Championship will be the perfect event to showcase the attractiveness of Lake Toba to international audiences.” said Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Sandiaga Uno.

“The influx of travellers coming in from all over the world would surely boost economic recovery in the area, especially micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMES),” he added.

In between adrenaline-pumping powerboat races, visitors can fully immerse themselves in the natural allure of Lake Toba, one of Indonesia’s five Super Priority Tourism Destinations. The lake, with an area of more than 1,145 square kilometers and a depth of 508 meters, was formed from by a violent prehistoric volcanic eruption 74 thousand years ago.

Other destinations around Lake Toba are not short of charm either. Situated on the south of the lake, the town of Balige offers a magnificent view of Lake Toba and surrounding mountains. The town was also a witness to the native Batak people’s first revolt against the Dutch government.

Upon visiting Balige, travelers are treated to a scenery of Lake Toba from a variety of different viewpoints at Tarabunga Hill, Pahoda, Lumban BulBul Beach or Samosir Beach.

The Lumban BulBul Beach sets itself apart from other beaches for being a freshwater beach lined with white, sparkling sands. Visitors can take part in exciting water-based activities such as banana boating, riding on the traditional solu boat or renting a motorboat to do some sightseeing around the lake.

Not too far away from Balige is the Meat (pronounced may-ut ) Village in Tobasa Regency. Sitting at an altitude of 919 meters above sea level, the village is often said to be the lowest geographical point in the Toba Samosir region.  After a walk among verdant paddy rice fields, visitors can visit local dance studios and watch performances of the traditional Sipitu Cawan dance.

The nearby Desa Wisata (Tourism Village) is the perfect place to learn about local wisdom. Floating in the middle of the lake is Samosir Island, where two tourism villages, Tomok and Simanindo stand. Home to the Batak ethnic group, residents of both villages still celebrate their ancestors’ rituals and traditions. Here, you can experience a Sigale-gale Puppet ritual that calls upon the spirits of deceased ancestors.

Traveling to North Sumatera is not the same without visiting local workshops and admiring the beauty of Lake Toba’s traditional textile, kain ulos . This signature textile is not just an important cultural heritage to the Batak Toba people, but it’s also a sacred artifact that symbolizes blessings, love, compassion and unity.

Lake Toba is also a haven for culinary enthusiasts. Finding halal food is no obstacle because the region is home to a goldfish dish called Dekke Na Niarsik (Arsik goldfish). Goldfish sourced from the area is cooked until dry and seasoned with various spices, including the Andaliman pepper,

A species endemic to Lake Toba and a staple in Batak Toba cuisine, Andaliman has recently gained attention due to its popularity among culinary enthusiasts from outside the area. People in the area, especially MSMEs, have come up with creations to promote Andaliman with mouth-watering dishes such as andaliman pizza, sambal, bandrek (herb drink) and more.

A boon for the recovering economy

Since its first run in 1981, the F1 PowerBoat Championship is considered to be one of the most challenging sports in the world. Racers require a certain amount of finesse to maintain the balance of their powerboat against the water current. The acceleration of powerboats can exceed that of race cars, reaching 160 km/hour within four seconds. While gliding at incredible speeds, drivers must race against each other without the use of breaks or clutches.

In anticipation of international spectators flocking in to see competitors testing their might at the revered volcanic lake, the government has pushed for infrastructure development and other supporting facilities. Sandiaga himself has also assured that the Tourism and Creative Economy Minister has also collaborated with other ministries and agencies to ready the human resources around the area.

The Tourism and Creative Economy Ministry has assisted locals in setting up homestay and tourism village tour packages, as well as developing MSME products. The ministry also provides hospitality training, tourism awareness sessions and more.

“Hospitality is key to avoid tourists feeling disappointed after their visit to Lake Toba. We will ensure that the impact of this event can be falt by MSMEs by conducting training sessions and strengthening the supply chain of local products so they can be used by hotels and inns,” Sandiaga elaborated.

The Championship will also have a number of side events including culinary festivals (including a grilled fish festival), watch parties and MSME exhibitions. There will also be entertainment from celebrities and various cultural art attractions from various regions of North Sumatera.

“We expect a 3.7 percent increase within two years post-event. The F1 PowerBoat Championship is predicted to generate 180 million digital impressions and an economic impact of Rp 212 billion (US$ 13.98 million) for the economy of North Sumatera,” said Sandiaga.

The minister further reminded visitors coming to the Lake Toba area to continue adhering to health protocols such as wearing masks, keeping their distance, washing hands regularly, and taking the required booster vaccinations before travelling into the area.

A total of 18 international racers from around 10 countries will participate in the event at one of the biggest lakes in Southeast Asia and one of the deepest in the world, according to the organizers.

Last year, the event had a positive impact on the economy, generating Rp 1.68 trillion in revenue and attracting around 100,000 tourists to one of Indonesia's super-priority tourist destinations.

Maya Watono, Director of Marketing and Tourism Programs at state-owned tourism company Aviasi Pariwisata Indonesia (InJourney), said thousands of tickets have been prepared for the event.

"F1 Powerboat will present a phenomenal international water sports competition against the backdrop of the beautiful Lake Toba. Visitors can also witness various cultural festivals and shop at small and medium enterprises, as well as performances by top-notch bands that will bring vibrancy to the event," said Maya Watono on Monday.

She explained that F1 Powerboat Lake Toba tickets are divided into three categories: festival tickets priced at Rp 200,000 ($13), grandstand A, and B each priced at Rp 500,000. 

In addition, the public can witness the Aquabike Indonesia Championship (AIC) jetski racing event, which will also be held simultaneously with the F1 Powerboat event.

Around 20 national racers will participate in this event, providing an opportunity for athletes to enhance their performance in the upcoming Aquabike World Championship at the same location.

Not only will it feature international racing events, but there will also be a local boat racing competition to revive the local Batak tradition called " Solu Bolon " or dragon boat racing.

Indonesia aims to increase domestic trips by 1.25 billion visits to 5 billion in 2024 with tourism revenue reaching Rp 3,500 trillion through various international events.

TOBA LAKE TO HOST F1 POWERBOAT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP UNTIL 2027

INDONESIA’S Minister of Youth and Sports, Zainudin Amali, said that Lake Toba has the trust to host the F1 Powerboat (F1H2O) World Championship for the next five years or until 2027.

This year, Lake Toba will open a series of the world’s most prestigious super-fast boat racing events on February 24-26. Amali revealed that the F1 Powerboat title is one of the efforts to encourage destinations in Lake Toba which are included in the super priority.

“The Powerboat World Championship is organized by the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM) and sponsored by H2O, so it is often referred to as F1 H2O. The championship is the highest class in the Powerboat race which also bears the name F1 like a car racing race,” Amali said in an online Media Gathring on Tuesday.

For five years, continued Amali, F1 Powerboat on Lake Toba will roll in the same location. “So the place does not change. Stay in the same location,” Amali said.

Thus, Amali hopes that this activity will have a positive impact on the community, one of which is to improve the economy both regionally and nationally.

“One of the efforts to encourage economic recovery and growth is through tourism activities and sports events. The organization of sports events in tourist areas is expected to further increase the economic pace of the community,” he said.

As for the success of this event, the Director General of Information and Public Communication of the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, Usman Kansong, said that internet connectivity and telecommunications facilities in F1 Powerboat will be equivalent to the MotoGP event in Mandalika.

“Kominfo has coordinated with cellular operators such as Telkom and Telkomsel and others so that communication in organizing F1 Powerboat is smooth, as are the communication facilities that we prepared during the Mandalika MotoGP (2022),” Usman said.

The Ministry of Communication and Information has two main tasks, namely ensuring the readiness of telecommunications infrastructure and implementing public communication. The provision of communication infrastructure will be carried out by the Directorate General of Post and Information Resources and Devices (SDPPI).

“Yesterday Luhut Binsar panjaitan, Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment has coordinated with the Minister of Communication and Information (Minister of Communication and Information Johnny G Plate) for the preparation of internet facilities and other telecommunications facilities,” Usman said.

With the preparation of the telecommunications infrastructure, local and foreign media crews who are present to cover the international sports event are expected to be comfortable at work, especially when sending videos, pictures and news to their respective offices or countries.

“We get praise because the internet capacity is 5G (at the 2022 Mandalika MotoGP), so they are very fast for the media, especially in sending pictures to their respective countries,” he added.

Meanwhile, in public communication, continued Director General Usman, the Ministry of Communication and Information is tasked with communicating to the public at large about the implementation of F1 Powerboat. For this reason, the Ministry of Communication and Information will prepare media crew coverage facilities, starting from registration, Media Center and a number of other facilities to facilitate coverage during the race.

“We are also trying to contact or coordinate with a number of foreign media because it is an international event whose fans are very large, the audience can be up to 140 million (people) who watch on television and also come directly to Lake Toba,” he concluded.

The organization of F1 H20 Toba 2023, apart from being a world racing agenda, is even more important to promote Lake Toba as a super priority destination. Supporting what was conveyed by the Minister Youth & Sports, Usman also emphasized that the organization would help encourage the rise of MSMEs, especially those around Lake Toba . [antaranews]

Seeing Indonesia’s sports tourism development through Lake Toba F1 Powerboat Championship

• One of the most spacious lakes in the world offers a great destination for athletes to compete and tourists to enjoy the scenic vistas

In developing its sports tourism potential, Indonesia holds many championships or sports events, and one of the closest is the F1 Powerboat ( F1H2O ) World Championship in Lake Toba, North Sumatra, on February 24-26. Lake Toba, one of the most spacious lakes in the world, offers a great destination for athletes to compete, and tourists to enjoy the scenic view.

Assistant Deputy for Sustainable Tourism Development at the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Kosmas Harefa, stated that the preparation for the F1H2O World Championship in Lake Toba reached 70 percent as of January 24. “It is expected that the preparations are in accordance with the target and all the main gates will have been completed by February 10,” Harefa said in a virtual gathering.

The F1 Powerboat is the world’s largest motorboat racing competition for powerboats, on par with Formula 1 or MotoGP. Harefa revealed that one of the facilities’ constructions, which is a centralized parking location, can accommodate three thousand to four thousand cars. “Currently, the Toba District Government, supported by the North Sumatra Provincial Public Works Office, has prepared a vast parking lot,” he added. According to him, the number of visitors is targeted to reach 20 thousand to 25 thousand, by promoting the event intensively.

Meanwhile, Minister of Youth and Sports Zainudin Amali said Lake Toba as the host of F1H20 is very ready to organize this activity, as proven by the venue readiness and other supporting facilities. “The government has prepared many F1 Powerboat post events, to support the economy of the Toba people,” Amali, who serves as the Chairperson of the F1H2O National Committee, said.

Lake Toba Cooler He also ensured that the F1 Powerboat at Lake Toba will pamper the visitors, as he claimed the location is cooler than Sharjah, United Arab Emirates (UAE), where the previous F1 Powerboat event was held on December 16, 2022. “In Sharjah, the venue was an artificial lake and the weather was very hot. This is very different from Lake Toba where the air is cool and not artificial,” he explained. He emphasized, the government has been preparing this event very seriously and hoping for support from various parties to make F1 Powerboat 2023 a success.

Moreover, he expressed hope that the F1 Powerboat implementation can result in the emergence of new water sports racing athletes in Indonesia. “We hope that this international event at Lake Toba can find new athletes and hopefully, they can excel,” Amali said. He added, the event can promote local micro, small, and medium enterprises and show the world’s trust in Indonesia in holding international events.

Unique to the world State-owned tourism holding firm InJourney said that the F1H20 circuit in Lake Toba is the most unique in the world. “This circuit is quite unique because the track is on the lake. We have carried out the homologation (verification of the track’s safety), and the circuit length is 2.2 km. Its shape is unique because Lake Toba is a volcanic lake,” InJourney’s Marketing and Consumer Experience Director Maya Watono said on Wednesday.

Furthermore, InJourney President Director Dony Oskaria said that the F1H20 will involve the local communities. Oskaria explained, the shores of Lake Toba can serve as places for the spectators and local people are allowed to collect fees as long as they are registered as InJourney official partners. InJourney also involved 500 students as event organizers and will give them certificates.

Minister Amali said the F1H20 event can encourage Lake Toba as one of Indonesia’s super-priority tourism destinations, just as Lake Toba has gained the trust of the F1 Committee to host F1H2O for the next five years or until 2027.

The trio start with takeaways from the NFL owner's meetings as Jori was on the ground in Orlando. The hosts discuss the fallout of the new kickoff rule (are rosters going to change because of it?), the two Christmas Day games and what the heck Jerry Jones was doodling in his notebook. Next, it's time to pull out the crystal ball as the hosts attempt to look into the future for some key quarterbacks, starting with Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy. McCarthy's draft stock has been skyrocketing lately as some rumors emerged that he could go as high as second overall.
