Macau Government Tourism Office (MGTO) Director Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes announced yesterday the debut of the motor-racing-themed “Macau Grand Prix Museum Chronicles: 70 Legendary Years” mapping show which is presented on the façade of the Macau Grand Prix Museum (MGPM) in Zape every 15 minutes between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. every night this month.

Senna Fernandes said in a speech during last night’s opening ceremony that the Macau Grand Prix (MGP) is an “inextricable” part of Macau, adding that in order to record the “significant” moments in the history of the Grand Prix and to promote and carry forward the city’s motorsport culture, the museum aims to promote the “fascinating offerings” of the Grand Prix in sport tourism to locals and visitors from all over the world through its ongoing incorporation of different exhibits, activities and interactive multimedia experiences.

According to Senna Fernandes, in celebration of the 70th Macau Grand Prix, which will take place on November 11-12 and November 16-19, the museum has rolled out a raft of special activities and arrangements, including the one-month-long mapping show, “with the hope of kindling greater vibes of the event and offer another choice of nighttime entertainment.”

An MGTO statement said yesterday that the mapping show featuring two chapters, “Imprinted Moments” and “Competition and Professionalism”, highlights “the beauty of the [Guia] circuit and motor racing, the thrill of the competition and the glorious moments of trophy presentation”, presenting the “glamour of the Macau Grand Prix on the way to its platinum jubilee”.

The special activities also include the “VR 360° race replay” exhibit zone and the release of the video “70 Legendary Years of Macau Grand Prix”, as well as the “Oracle Red Bull Racing” special exhibition and an exhibition of memory tokens submitted to the museum for the 70th anniversary of the Macau Grand Prix.
