Macau Grand Prix 2026: 68 drivers, three FIA World Cups

The Guia street circuit hosts the 73rd Macau Grand Prix from 19 to 22 November 2026. Created in 1954 and organised by the AAMC (Macau-China), its organising committee and the FIA, the event this year brings together 68 drivers from 34 nations in three FIA World Cups, and also serves as the finale of the Kumho FIA TCR World Tour.

Three World Cups over 6.120 km

• FIA FR World Cup (3rd edition): the first edition with the Gen2 Formula Regional car built by Tatuus and the Race Mode system. Thirteen two-car teams are entered, making a 26-car grid. They include ART Grand Prix, PREMA Racing, Trident, R-ace GP, TOM'S Racing, Van Amersfoort Racing and Pinnacle Motorsport, which took the top two places in 2025. The top four in the 2026 FIA FREC, Emanuele Olivieri, Sebastian Wheldon, Kean Nakamura-Berta and Rashid Al Dhaheri, are among the favourites.
• FIA GT World Cup (9th edition): an 18-car grid and a record eight GT3 manufacturers: Aston Martin, Audi, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Mercedes-AMG and Porsche. A new Silver Cup worth 22 000 USD appears, and Superpole returns for the top 10 drivers from Q1.
• FIA F4 World Cup (2nd edition): for the first time in a multi-team format, with 12 teams running two Tatuus F4-T421s each: the grid grows from 20 to 24 cars. That car makes its debut in Macau.

Pirelli supplies the tyres for all three events, in both dry and wet compounds.

The TCR title is at stake

The weekend also includes the 8th and final round of the 2026 Kumho FIA TCR World Tour, with the drivers' and teams' titles to be decided. Mikel Azcona (BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse) starts as leader with a 33-point advantage over team-mate Norbert Michelisz and 39 over Santiago Urrutia (Geely Cyan Racing). Among the teams, Geely Cyan Racing leads by 48 points. A driver can score up to 75 points over the weekend.
