Jakarta, 13 April, 2026 – TransTRACK, a technology company (tech enabler) focused on digitalizing fleet operations through its fleet operation optimizer and supply chain integrator solutions, continues to demonstrate its commitment to enhancing safety standards in Indonesia’s motorsport industry by supporting Ikatan Motor Indonesia (IMI) at the 2026 North Sumatra Sprint Rally, the first round of the 2026 National Sprint Rally Championship (Kejurnas), held last week at the North Sumatra Sport Centre Complex in Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, 11-12 April 2026.
Since its initial introduction at the 2024 North Sumatra Rally and through its continued support across various rally events in Indonesia, TransTRACK has further developed its locally built Rally Tracking System, enabling real-time vehicle position monitoring down to the second. The system is equipped with emergency buttons such as SOS, OK, Fire, and Blocked Road, allowing drivers and co-drivers to instantly send emergency signals to race officials.
This support plays a critical role in improving monitoring effectiveness and accelerating response times to potential incidents on the track, while ensuring smooth operational execution throughout the event.
Anggia Meisesari, Founder and CEO of TransTRACK, stated, “Since we first introduced this technology in 2024, we have continuously enhanced it to meet the increasingly complex needs of the motorsport industry. Our commitment is to deliver technology-driven solutions that not only improve operational efficiency but also ensure the safety of all participants remains the top priority.”

From the organizer’s perspective, Poedio Oetojo, Clerk of the Course for Round 1 National Sprint Rally Championship, who is also a senior Indonesian rally practitioner who has been involved since 1978, emphasized, “Safety is an inseparable part of motorsport events due to the inherent risks involved. Since my involvement in the rally, from being a participant in 1972 to becoming an organizer in 1978, safety measures have already been implemented, although at that time knowledge and regulations were still very limited. Vehicle and driver equipment inspections have been conducted since the 1970s, including the use of roll bars. However, monitoring systems along the stages were still limited. Previously, we relied on radio points every few kilometers to report participant positions, which made it difficult to respond quickly to incidents occurring between those points. With the current tracking system, organizers can monitor participant movements in real time, respond to incidents more quickly, and ensure competitors follow the designated route. This marks a significant advancement in improving safety and oversight in rally events,” he explained.
Meanwhile, Adi Wibowo, Chief Steward appointed by IMI for this event, stated, “Safety monitoring with technology is extremely helpful, both for participants and organizers. With this tracking system, all participant movements can be monitored and recorded, allowing data such as position, speed, and timing to be utilized when needed. This represents a significant advancement for rally in Indonesia. At the international level, such as in WRC, this technology can even monitor speed in real time, including detecting overspeed or when a vehicle is moving too slowly,” he said.
“In trials conducted, including in APRC, incidents could be immediately detected, enabling organizers to respond quickly through features such as SOS or emergency assistance requests. Moving forward, we hope this system can be implemented for all participants, as it will enhance safety while also driving the advancement of Indonesia’s rally industry. There is also potential for this technology to be applied in other motorsport disciplines requiring speed and precision,” Adi added.
From the participant’s perspective, M. Herkusuma (Heru), Co-driver of Dewa United Motorsport, highlighted the importance of safety technology in supporting performance on the track. “In motorsport, safety is the number one priority. With this technology, information can be received much faster, allowing us to anticipate accidents more quickly. We hope that this locally developed rally device will continue to improve, align with FIA regulations, and eventually be used more widely, including being approved for international levels such as WRC Indonesia,” he stated.
He also expressed hope that the development of this local device will continue to improve, meet international standards, and be adopted more widely across rally events.
The development of TransTRACK’s Rally Tracking System not only focuses on safety but also enhances transparency and accuracy in competition, including route compliance monitoring and the provision of comprehensive data for performance analysis and decision-making.
Through ongoing collaboration with IMI and various stakeholders, TransTRACK is optimistic that this technology will set a new benchmark for motorsport safety in Indonesia, while also opening opportunities for locally developed solutions to compete on a global stage.
