The 1993 Indonesian Grand Prix was a Formula Brabham race held in August, 1993 at the Sentul International Circuit near Citeureup, Indonesia. It was the first round of a two event Pan-Pacific series for the Australian-based Formula Brabham category. It was the first race held at the newly constructed state-owned racetrack, built in an attempt to secure a Formula One Grand Prix, specifically for the 1994 Formula One season.

With no local form of open wheel motor racing occurring in Indonesia as it had been several years since a motor racing circuit had operated in the country, organisers looked into importing a field of racing. After investigating the potential costs of importing the European Formula 3000 Championship and several Formula 3 series, the geographically closer Australian Formula Brabham series was selected.

Qualifying

  • Soeharto qualified 17th but engine problems forced the team to replace the V6 Holden engine with a V8 Mugen Formula 3000 engine and only started with the approval of the other competitors.
