------The first Macau Grand
Prix was held in November 1954, and the race facilities were rather
poor at that time. There were only sand bags and bamboo sheds built
along the runway as fenders, and the unprotected audiences had to stand
on both sides of the racetrack. Nowadays, steel railings and safety
nets are implemented throughout the track for better protection.
------The
Macau sponsors widely publicized the event, and they invited many leading
racers. The Grand Prix ran from four to six days, attracting tourists
and correspondents from all over the world.
------The
event included many races, such as the classic car race, vintage car
race, Guia car race, Grand Prix motorcycle race, touring car race as
well as the Macau Formula 3 Grand Prix.
------Every
year, correspondents
and enthusiastic photographers
from many different countries
would dig out their camera
lenses and look into the best
vantage points beforehand,
hoping to shoot some great
pictures.
