The Lippo Village International Formula Circuit is a temporary street circuit in Lippo Village Tangerang, 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 308 km/h with the average speed of 176 km/h. Part of the Pelita Harapan University’s planned extensions 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.

“To fair Fidele’s grassy tomb
Soft maids and village hinds shall bring
Each opening sweet of earliest bloom,
And rifle all the breathing spring.”
—William Collins (1721–1759)
“I feel like a white granular mass of amorphous crystals—my formula appears to be isomeric with Spasmotoxin. My aurochloride precipitates into beautiful prismatic needles. My Platinochloride develops octohedron crystals,—with a fine blue florescence. My physiological action is not indifferent. One millionth of a grain injected under the skin of a frog produced instantaneous death accompanied by an orange blossom odor.”
—Lafcadio Hearn (1850–1904)
“each new victim treads unfalteringly
The never altered circuit of his fate,
Bringing twelve peers as witness
Both to his starry rise and starry fall.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
