Macao is small, so this Macao racing game squeezes a lot of shoreline into its 4.3 km. The track is drawn from Macao's coastline, and almost every one of its 17 corners is a bay, a point or a hill: Shipai Wan at turn 1, Taipa Pequena and Taipa Grande, the bay at Ká-Hó, Monte Ká Hó, Heisha Wan, Morro de Artilharia and, to finish, Luhuan.

The Grand Prix of Macao here is a marina layout with 34 metres of rolling climb.

Around the Macao track

Two towers mark the skyline, the Grand Lisboa and the Macau Tower, with the Ruins of St Paul's in the scene as well. The water is never far away on a marina layout like this, and the buildings are East Asian and close-packed along the coast. Yellow taxis, buses and mopeds are parked trackside, the welcome banner is written in Chinese and Portuguese, and the boards read Macau and Macao.

How to drive the Macao circuit

From the line, 430 metres of straight run down to Shipai Wan. After that the lap winds through bay after bay, rising and falling a little. The slowest point is Monte Ká Hó, turn 11, at 76 km/h, so brake in a straight line and keep it tidy for Heisha Wan.
