The event includes the title races of the Macau Formula 3 Grand Prix and the Macau Grand Prix, as well as the turtle, Grand Trunk, Sports Car, and Formula 4 races.
The 1st Macau GP was held in 1954 as a sports car race. In 1967, the Macau GP was held on a motorcycle. [1] In 2008, GT3 races were added and became known as the FIA GT World Cup.
In the Macau Formula 3 Grand Prix, the Formula 3 national champions and racers from all over the world will be awarded the FIA Formula 3 World Cup.
Macau GP is one of the most difficult rounds in the world due to the hig h-speed straight line (F3 machines reach a maximum speed of 275 km / h at the end of the straight [2]), steep curves, and complicated carrier routes. It is done. Many F1 actors and former racers have participated in the early days of their careers, and some have won prestigious prizes. Past winners include Ayrton Sena, Michael Schumacher, David Cruzard, Ralph Schumacher, Ralph Farman, Takuma Sato, and Dan Tiktam.
History
In 1954, Macau Grand Prix was invented as a treasure hunt for urban areas, but it was suggested that it will soon arrange a race competition as a local driver's tracking race. Serial car racing was added in 1957, and in 1972 it was replaced by a tourist car race.
In 1961, the title race became an open wheel Libra formula competition. The race continued as an amateur until 1966, and Belgian racer Mauro Bianca participated in Alpine A220 (chassis No. 1722). [4] Alpine Renault also instructed the engineer Jea n-Paul Castillo to help Bianca on the machine. [5] Bianca's victory and his fame, the following year, more professional racing teams began to participate in the Grand Prix.
The engine light was introduced in 1967, the same year the first fatal accident occurred. It was a signal to improve the safety of the race. Teddy IP was one of the architects of the Macau Grand Prix in the 1970s and 1980s, making it one of the most popular car races in the world. The Macau GP, which he hosted at his home for many years, also became a central part of the public nuance of the Grand Prix. In 1980, the popular Jeff Fox received $30. 40, and in 1981, the popular Bob Earl received $30. 60. [6]
In 1983, the organizers decided to hold the race as a Formula 3 race, as Formula Pacific was becoming irrelevant. They initially wanted to hold it as an F2 class, but the FIA decided to hold it as the title race, the F3 World Cup, due to the reluctance to make major changes to the highway, such as reducing the size of the main race. At the same time, Yokohama Tire was officially consolidated as the sole tire supplier for the participating members. [7]
Thanks to this decision, the race's reputation in the motorsport world quickly grew, attracting the best young racers from Europe and the Land of the Rising Sun. The first F3 race was won by a young Ayrton Senna. The 1990 race is remembered for the collision between Michael Schumacher and Mika Hyakkinen as they were in first and second place on the last lap. Hyakkinen, who was the turn leader for the Mandarin Oriental on the main straight, hooked the rear end of Schumacher's car, causing Schumacher to fall while trying to pass him. [8] Schumacher's car continued the race despite a crumpled rear wing, and he ended up winning the overall championship. Other popular names included F1 racers David Coulthard, Ralf Schumacher, and Takuma Sato. The Racca F3 GP from Macau is a stepping stone for many pilots of F3 to transition to car racing than the highest class, as the FIA Formula 2 or Formula-1 Championship. However, only three drivers who competed in this race since 2010 have won an F1 race: Valtteri Bottas in 2011, Max Verstappen in 2014 and Charles Leclerc in 2015, the last F1 race to be won by the favorite of the Macau GP in 1995.
From 2005 to 2014, it was a World Cu p-like final round of the World Touring Car Championship.
