The Macau Grand Prix Organizing Committee said Monday that this year’s Macau Grand Prix will run across four days from 17 to 20 November, featuring an expanded seven-race schedule of which six races will be sponsored by the city’s concessionaires. There were five races held in 2020 and six in 2021.
The six events to be sponsored by concessionaires have been named as the Sands China Formula 4 Macau Grand Prix, Galaxy Entertainment Macau GT Cup, Wynn Macau Guia Race, MGM Macau Touring Car Cup, Melco Greater Bay Area GT Cup and SJM Macau Roadsport Challenge. The seventh race on the schedule will be the 54th edition of the Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix.
Macau Industrial Ltd has been named as designated beverage sponsor of this year’s Grand Prix.
In announcing this year’s event, the organizing committee said the Macau Grand Prix is an “important sports tourism brand project for the Macau SAR. The staging of the Grand Prix amply demonstrates that Macau is both a vibrant and a safe city to visit. The broader impact of organizing the Grand Prix can assist different business sectors to accelerate economic recovery.
“At the same time, by broadcasting the Grand Prix races to other countries and regions in the mainland and overseas, a positive image of Macau will be disseminated around the world.”
The event will, however, be held under “strict epidemic prevention measures”.
“The Macau Grand Prix Organizing Committee will continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 situation and make arrangements for epidemic prevention in a timely manner in accordance with the relevant guidelines issued by the Health Bureau,” it said.
