The recently concluded 2025 Macao Grand Prix solidified its reputation as one of the world's most thrilling street races, with FIA Single-Seater Commission President Emanuele Pirro calling the event a "special gem" in global motorsport. Held from November 13-16 alongside China's 15th National Games, the 72nd edition saw adrenaline-fueled competitions across multiple categories, including the debut Formula 4 World Cup. 🏎️
In an exclusive chat with CGTN, Pirro—a five-time Le Mans winner—highlighted Macao's iconic Guia Circuit as a "rare treasure" due to its unchanged layout over decades. "Street racing demands precision you won’t find on regular tracks," he said, praising the SAR’s unique blend of high-speed challenges and cultural vibrancy. 🌆
Having raced in Macao nine times himself, Pirro emphasized preserving the event’s heritage: "Tracks like this are irreplaceable—they’re where history and speed collide." His comments come as the city continues to attract global motorsport fans, blending neon-lit nights with roaring engines. 💨
