The Macau Grandprix - Guia Race

This year’s Macau Grand Prix, the 5nd running of the event, will be held from November 18 to 21.

The Guia Race of the Macau Grand Prix is the premiere touring car event in the Asia-Pacific region and a showcase for the top champions of the world.

The race is held on the tight and twisty street cicruit of Macau.

The Guia Race is run as two, 12-lap sprint races with a scant 15-minute break in between.

Excitement and adrenaline on the racetrack run high during raceday. Nerves of steel are required to master the 6.3 km circuit that is bereft of run-off areas and gravel traps, and instead lined with unforgiving stone walls and steel barriers.

The red, blue and yellow flags are often brought out.

The Macau Grand Prix begun in 1954 as an amateur event for local motoring enthusiasts.

Today the highlight of the Macau Grand Prix is the Macau Formula 3 Grand Prix. Up to 30 young national championship drivers compete to take the chequered flag.
