The Macau Grand Prix is probably Macau's most internationally known event. Held every November, for the last more than fifty years, it is known for being the only street circuit racing event in which both car and motorcycle races are held, with more than three hundred racing drivers and riders participating.

One of the highlights of the event is the Macau Formula 3 Grand Prix. Due to the circuit's challenging nature, which consists of fast straights, tight corners and uncompromising crash barriers, the Macau Grand Prix is famously known as one of the world's most demanding circuits.

Former Macau Grand Prix winners include great names such as Ayrton Senna, Michael and Ralf Schumacher, and David Coulthard.
