Last week (Nov 136), the 72nd edition of the Macao Grand Prix took over the Macao SAR’s original street circuit. 🚗💨
FIA Single-Seater Commission President Emanuele Pirro—yep, the five-time Le Mans champ—sat down with CGTN’s Shen Xiang to spill the tea on what makes this race so legendary. He praised Macao’s unchanged track, calling it a 'time-tested' classic that pushes drivers to nail every chicane with precision. 🎯
One highlight? The debut Formula 4 World Cup, a fresh take for junior drivers to shine on the same narrow streets that F1 hopefuls dream about. Pirro says the stable layout is rare in the racing world, giving both pros and newbies a fair shot at mastering each corner. 🔄
Having raced here nine times himself, Pirro hopes Macao’s GP stays put for years to come. He loves the city’s energy—think Portuguese colonial vibes meeting modern Asian hustle—and believes this combo makes Macao a one-of-a-kind experience for drivers and fans alike. 🌆✌️
Whether you’re a sim-racing champ in Bangalore or a motorsport rookie in Jakarta, Macao’s street race buzz is worth the watch. Keep your eyes on this circuit—it’s where tradition and throttle collide in epic fashion! 🏁
