Several motorcyclists actually lost their lives on the track... Bruno Bonhuil and Luis Carreira are the one I know of, but I'm sure there are many more sadly... :(
What I absolutely don't get: A double yellow flag already means "slow down" and knowing the reputation this track has, you should expect a blocked track. Then why do we still see drivers crashing into a wreckage one after another?
lol a lot of you complain the degree of dificulty of the track but when you hear all the interviews from the drivers this is what they love and looking for a very challenging race.
@@DrFeloniousMost of them are. Except Touring Car is usually part of the championship, all other races (F3, motorcycle, GT) are one off races. So they have to sign-up themselves to race. Actually for local drivers they have to race several races in other circuits to qualify for the Macau Grand Prix.
Seriously it was actually starting to make me angry when people kept piling in, like did these guys get their racing licenses out of a cereal box or what.
Macau is my favourite annual crashfest especially on TCR class because of those rich hongkong and taiwanese clowns who called themselves as "Pro" racing drivers
@@remotecontrol1082 That's racing in Macau! Ha, also last year was the last chance for a national-level race, with 2023 international event return anticipated, so driver skill level was not at its peak let's say... My team was unlucky and got fucked by gentleman driver crashes.
This track is like the M25 - practically a car park. I can't believe they use it - there are no run-off areas so every crash stops the race and can take out half the field. Demolition Derby!
yea a bunch of locals thought it would be a good idea to race car here back in the 50s....the track doesn't change at all but its the cars that are getting so much fatter and bigger.
It’s top tier challenge in motorsport and I think it’s cool for supercars and touring cars to race there, not so cool for Formulas and especially motorcycles tho
I don't know but i think the safer barrier in the right side on the exit of turn 2 just make it more dangerous , coz the car will bounce back into the middle of the track
At Macau they should have another corner worker's flag, something really unique like striped purple or something, that's one step above a yellow flag. It's not just a yellow, it means FOR F***S SAKE SLOW THE F*** DOWN. Used in cases where the track is nearly or completely blocked.
Yeah maybe putting majority middle tiered drivers on a track w no run offs isn’t the best idea. If I was team owner, I’m good w this race. Too expensive
In any sensible universe the straight would have chicanes instead of near full-throttle kinks, and the mountain section…. i have no clue what to do with that
I am no expert in Marshalling, but shouldn't most of these cases should have been red flag, not double yellow, especially when the track is covered with crashed cars and have less than a car-width left? Also, marshall station at 3A seems to be very useless. It is after the turn and on the inside of a straight away. Maybe it is camera angle?
Street circuits are a bane to real racing. To narrow & cramped. Macau, Monaco, Long Beach & the rest of the street circuits are worthless. Worst idea from 20th century racing. Scrap the lot & go to the real race tracks of Brands Hatch, LeMans, Nürburgring, Spa, Road America etc.
Use the right kind of cars on these street circuits and it works. You can't use F1 and GT3 cars on these circuits. It's too narrow for those things. Atleast smaller touring cars are fine.
10:27 this is ridiculous, let’s say I understand those guys on Isle of Man but I don’t understand those who are racing there and whoever is in charge of that race
⛔Macau is so full of blind-corners that runners doing a marathon would have a pileup Worst big-name track, how do you call it racing when there's more red-flag time than driving time only place in the world you can have a nascar BigOne with all the cars strung out and in single file
Macau is either a terribly designed track or, the drivers just don’t understand it lol.. And there’s no way motorcycles should be racing there… It’s way too fast with no run off at all… Go down on a bike and you’re almost certainly going to slide into a wall, or be struck by another rider.
@kamele0ne69 motorcycles have been part of the Macau GP since its inception. The original race organizer (Teddy Yipp I believe) wanted both cars and bikes racing on the same weekend. A rarity at the time and even rarer now. I do agree with you that racing these high powered bikes is dangerous now. When Macau started I think bike
@@W123KartSport I mean, motorbike racing is inherently dangerous in of itself. Riders have arguably far less protection than car drivers do, having often only the padding on their backs, and some air/sandbags to protect them. It's the lack of added protective features seemingly present for the bikes that's alarming to me personally. Like at least have SOMETHING other than metal guard-rails or rigid tire barriers for riders to slide into if/when they crash.
@@NolanRempel I agree. My point is that the old bikes were extremely limited on power meaning a crash wasn't a death sentence. I mean hell they race bikes at Daytona. You hit the wall, you're pretty much done
This. Track. SUCKS!!!!! Why does this track exist at all!? It's like Talladega in the United States: It sucks, there's no point to it, & the only people who like it are crash lovers. We have demolition derbies for that!
Racing Motorcycles on this track is simply insane
Several motorcyclists actually lost their lives on the track... Bruno Bonhuil and Luis Carreira are the one I know of, but I'm sure there are many more sadly... :(
If you want insane, go watch the isle of man tt. Absolutely horrible deaths there. That is the most insane race ever.
Just learnt of the motorcycle race this week, absolutely bonkers. Isle of Man but even more crazy w less prestige
Well uh... At least it had a barrier? Unlike Isle of man TT that straight up send you into trees or canyons...
@@noobscoopsies1100the barriers kill bikers too
This track is NUTS….i would be terrified to turn through each corner not knowing if theres an idle car sitting there. Mad Respect
💯
everytime i see these, the first thing i think of is pod racing in starwars.
Then you have lost the will to win, if you don't give it all every time
10:16 i love the guy just getting off the track asap, head first, doesn’t matter
1:21 The comic timing of speeding drivers and commentator
1:18 Announcer sounds like he's scolding children 🤣. Which makes sense - they all should've known better than to pile in there like that
What I absolutely don't get: A double yellow flag already means "slow down" and knowing the reputation this track has, you should expect a blocked track. Then why do we still see drivers crashing into a wreckage one after another?
You know you were behind the safety car when you hit it. That is Macau GP circuit.
13:05 I never seen anything even as similiar to this. this is unbelievable.
That is one of those crashes that you see & think "welp, they're dead". And somehow, nobody died.
Sofia Floersh from Germany was that driver. At the time 17 years old.
That crash was insane
saussage curb+brake failure=takeoff
They did not forget the "Flörsch-Flyby"
lol a lot of you complain the degree of dificulty of the track but when you hear all the interviews from the drivers this is what they love and looking for a very challenging race.
great for driving, dogshit for racing
They don't come much more challenging then Macau.
Voluntarily?

I cannot believe they had motorcycles on this track that is just a recipe for death
Nah bro my friends dad did it here
Had? You mean HAVE. The track owners and race officials still refuse to stop hosting the track for motorcycle racing.
Someone actually died in motorcycle race there
9 motorcycle riders died since 1970s.
4:44 THE BIGGEST MEME IN MOTORSPORT HISTORY
Yes
"millions and millions and millions of dollars" 😂🤣
many drivers were hungry about this circuit lol...welcome back.
Thank you, the best and impressive crashes have been collected🔥
1:15 crashing under a safetycar and threatening the volunteer track marshals should be instant one year license suspension. At least.
Seriously it was actually starting to make me angry when people kept piling in, like did these guys get their racing licenses out of a cereal box or what.
Macau is my favourite annual crashfest especially on TCR class because of those rich hongkong and taiwanese clowns who called themselves as "Pro" racing drivers
Haha I thought it was all this year's! Had 20 red flags yesterday and today, crazy.
That's not racing!
Holy fuck!

The street circuit that keeps on giving. Macau.
They should have permanent yellow flags for this track 😂
They actually do on one turn lol
I think they do for an entire sector
Yea it’s the really tight 180 type turn right?@@TurboWheeler
1:28 Do these drivers not have radios?
Lunatic Asylum.
And drivers crashing under yellows should be immediatly dqed from the meeting.
man I can't help but watch this and think what a terrible track lol, it's barely wide enough for two cars at some points
It’s barely wide enough for 1 car at some points lol
Especially once it's sideways!
@@NolanRempel Yeah, especially just before the last hairpin near the last couple of straights.
Man Macau GP is so dramatic to watch. Wish we have this track on Forza
Idk man, imagine the amount of rammers that would be on that track
This track is like the M25 - practically a car park. I can't believe they use it - there are no run-off areas so every crash stops the race and can take out half the field. Demolition Derby!

This circuit would never be allowed to exist in Europe or the USA much less have GT3 and motorbikes on it, I do love Macau 🇲🇴
Macau should instead host time attack events. The track looks amazing to lap around, but horrible for racing.
It’s top tier challenge in motorsport and I think it’s cool for supercars and touring cars to race there, not so cool for Formulas and especially motorcycles tho
some rare unseen crashes, to me at least, thanks!
Whan Macau being Macau
4:25 The back of Mercedes say Race to Win, but when his crash, rename to "Race to Crash"
I live in Macau near to the track I am scared now
everytime i see these, the first thing i think of is pod racing in starwars.
The hatchback pile up was me fav
Nice video 👍
first time there this year. Was fucking amazing on my bike
@1:13 those drivers who ar e behind the safety car and do that, need their license taken off them, just stupid
Looks like typical iRacing 🤣
1:14 how on earth do you manage that? it is safety car, and im very sure that its double yellows (extra caution) over there
I don't know but i think the safer barrier in the right side on the exit of turn 2 just make it more dangerous , coz the car will bounce back into the middle of the track
Circuit of impossibilities
I hope most of the drivers were okay
No problems for the drivers
4:14 when I quit a racing game I usually do this
Who thought it was a good idea to race motorcycles here?
10:26 the guy in the green suit. I literally dropped my jaw.
Did he survive? 😳
Yes no problem 4 the rider
@@motorsportchaosdude hit a wall and got ran over by 3 bikes. I don’t think he’s “fine”
2:34 - Too dO do dO do Doooo XD_
I'm a professional driver and would love the chance to replace these bad drivers
😱 oh my godness total chaos all cars in Macau big accidents
where can i watch the races? on which site?
On youtube
🔥
This is not a racetrack! Sorry it‘s to tight
2:15

why didn't they just respawn and do the corner again?
1:15--Aw, not again... 😮
2:10
How do you dooooooooo
how did no one die from that at 12:59
This is what happens when money trumps security.
All crashes in in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, brutal chaos and crash
That track is too narrow and too dangerous. I hope no one races there again.
I guess this is second to Isle of Man TT
Civics and r8s are this courses kryptonite
WHY so many driver hit the wall?
Yeah maybe putting majority middle tiered drivers on a track w no run offs isn’t the best idea. If I was team owner, I’m good w this race. Too expensive
In any sensible universe the straight would have chicanes instead of near full-throttle kinks, and the mountain section…. i have no clue what to do with that
why is this circuit still in this gp every year there big crashes
this is not a circuit but a place to destroys cars and Motorbikes !!
16:39 oh dear...
4:43 GG
Some of the commentators don't sound that good to me, one example being the one who called Ticktum's win in the last clip.
Oh no! OOOOOHHHH MAYHEM
Much more exciting and better than Monaco...........
HAB f3車手還在嗎？😅

Some of the TT driver got to Macau too. Not all of them tho. Many TT drivers are locals and do not do much outside of road racing like Micheal Dunlop
Dude, this is nowhere near as insane as the Isle of Man. Gotta toss that out there.
1:20 this pisses me off, like IT'S A SAFTEY CAR GO SLOW WTF
⛔Macau is so full of blind-corners that runners doing a marathon would have a pileup

😮😮😮😮😮🤟🤘🤙👋🦵👍❤️👑
Man, street circuits suck.
I don't like them in racing games either.
Is the driver from 13:00 okey that looks terrifying🥶🥶🥶
yes, fortunately she survived and no one died, btw she is Sophia Flöersch

Pretty much the same for cars, too. Useless!
Seems safe enough. They should race Hayabusa's here...
And yet the racing here continues. How many times do we have to do this
Forever
Until a major accident causing several casualties.
10:25 does a dude fucking die here
Ban Stupid Comments.
Whoever thought of running motorcycles here should be sued and banned of organizing an event on any level of importance
you’d be a horrible dinner guest
At the very least they should put up more airbags. The problem of course with THAT is it narrows the track even more than it already is.

Why the blue blazes do we still race here? How much money is the CCP paying the FIA to race on this death trap?
Bing chilling -10000 social credit.
Macau is a special administrative region, it’s not like China dude, so there’s nothing do with CCP
Not yet anyway@@qwq9905
Worst track ever
オフィシャルの教育が悪すぎる。
This track is terrible. Why do they still race there

joke of a race track

Ban this track!. How with modern safety regulations can they still get away with it. Obviously money talks.
Macau is such an awful track
