澳門的賽車跑道,名為「東望洋環山跑道」(Guia Circuit),是全世界僅有的數條由馬路改變而成跑道之一,其中一段友誼馬路直路,為各國跑道中最長的一段,也是世界罕有街道組成之跑道。

夢的開始
戰後到了60年代,日本電單車工業起飛,正挑戰電單車王國地位,當時四大車廠都非常熱衷參加國際大賽,其中三大車廠Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki致力開發2衝引擎,Honda則鍾情於4衝,他們還在賽場上有優異成績,尤以Yamaha在50、125、250都很出色。當時的東望洋跑道便給他們一次很好機會來顯示出未來王者的駕臨.........





The Macau Guia Circuit which means Eastern Coast Hill Climbing Circuit, First run in October, 1954 as a club race for local motoring enthusiasts, has evolved into what many believe is the finest street circuit race meeting in the world.

After
WWII, In the early 60s, Japan Motor Cycle Industry was booming, they
were challenging the Kingdom of Motor Cycle, four major Motor Cycle
manufacturers were entusiastic in motor racing, Kawasaki, Yamaha,
Suzuki - three of them developed the 2 stroke machine and the last one
Honda was on 4 stroke, yet they were all highly sussessful in the racing
ground, especially Yamaha, which was strong at 50, 125, 250 at that
time. That was the right time, an opportunity for the Japanese bike to
show their future domination, the Guia circuit.
In 50 years time,Briton Michael Rutter had finally beaten Ron
Haslam all time record to become the new King, he had 8 victory in his
pocket, while Ron
Haslam got 6, next was 4 times winner Stuart Easton, 3 times winner
included Sadeo Asami, Steve Hislop, Peter HIickman, 2 wins were Hiroshi
Hasegawa, Mike Grant, Steve Platter.

由於天雨關係,原定於星期六舉行的第36屆澳門格蘭披治電單車大賽改於星期日舉行。英國車手路達(Michael Rutter)和三位曾經三奪此項賽事冠軍的車手看齊,成為三屆冠軍得主。路達力壓實力接近的前任冠軍車手和麥堅尼斯勇奪冠軍。曾經於1999年贏得此項賽事的謝菲斯(David Jefferies)獲得季軍。謝菲斯在接著的一年於人島TT大賽中不幸意外身亡。
The 36th Motor Cycle Grand Prix, which was held on the Sunday of the Grand Prix because of rain on Saturday, Michael Rutter joined an elite band of three other riders who had won the event three times. The UK-based rider beat former winner and close rival John McGuinness to the chequered flag. David Jefferies, who had won the event in 1999 was third. Jefferies was killed tragically the following year during the Isle of Man TT.

The 37th Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix, Michael Rutter rode to a commanding victory, bringing his Macau tally to a record-breaking four wins in six years. Michael led the 15-lap race from start to finish on his Renegade Racing Ducati, beating his closest rival John McGuinness, winner of the 2001 event, by more than five and a half seconds and breaking the lap record by almost a full second in the process. Third home was veteran Scotsman Brian Morrison on a Suzuki. Australian Cameron Donald won the Supersport 600 class from New Zealand newcomer Bruce Anstey.

英國車手路達(Michael Rutter)勝出第38屆澳門格蘭披電單車大賽,完成了帽子戲法。
今次是路達第五次勝出,勁敵Ducati麥堅尼斯(John McGuiness)於練習時段造出最快時間,並在比賽初段取得領先位置,路達要在15圈賽事拼盡全力才能奪標。
在第8圈,32歲的英國車手麥堅尼斯在葡京彎前直路的速度比平常慢,路達把握機會越過對手。麥堅尼斯最後僅以半秒之差屈居亞軍,Ducati的21歲蘇格蘭車手伊斯頓(Stuart Easton)獲得季軍。
Michael Rutter (Honda CBR 1000) , made it three wins in a row when he won the 38th Macau Motor Cycle Grand Prix. Rutter had to work hard for his win, the fifth of his career in Macau, after rival John McGuinness (Ducati 999), who had been fastest in practice, took the lead at the start of the 15-lap race.
Rutter’s chance to take the lead came on lap 8 and beat McGuinness half a second down at the chequered flag, 21 years old Scot Stuart Easton (Ducati 999) finishing third.

第39屆澳門格蘭披治電單車大賽也成為焦點所在,因為路達(Michael Rutter)賽前誓言要平了傳奇「火箭人」夏士林(Ron Haslam)六勝這項比賽的紀錄。
路達在15圈的賽事中排頭位起跑,讓他距離目標又近了一步。現年32歲的路達駕駛Honda 1000戰車參賽,他在比賽中節節領先,速度之快讓其它對手望塵莫及,他最後以輕鬆的姿態首先衝過終點,更成功名留澳門格蘭披治大賽車的青史。
路達最後以16.6秒的優勢擊敗獲得亞軍的英國同胞麥堅尼斯(John McGuiness),後者同樣以Honda戰車出賽。排第5位起跑的蘇格蘭車手辛特(Les Shand)在比賽中奮力作戰,他在第9圈超越威爾斯車手盧化(Ian Lougher),獲得第三名。
Much anticipation surrounded the 39th Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix as Briton Michael Rutter embarked upon his quest to equal two-wheel legend “Rocket” Ron Haslam’s record of six Macau victories.
Rutter’s campaign got off to a good start when he took pole position for the start of the 15-lap race. The 32-year-old, aboard the 1000cc Red Bull Honda, then led from start to finish and set a pace quicker than any of his rivals, taking the chequered flag in style and booking his place in the Macau Grand Prix history books.
By the end of the race, Rutter had pulled out a gap of 16.6 seconds over second-placed man, fellow Briton John McGuinness, also on a Honda. Scotsman Les Shand charged through from fifth place on the opening lap to pass Welshman Ian Lougher on lap nine to take the final podium spot.

2006澳門格蘭披治電單車大賽進入第40屆,多名前任冠軍得主重臨澳門參與各項慶祝活動。傳奇車手「火箭人」夏士林 (Ron Haslam) 雖已結束比賽生涯多年,仍不希望看見路達 (Michael Rutter) 打破自己在澳門的得勝紀錄,他於1987年最後一次在澳門獲勝。
以Honda 1000戰馬參賽的路達在賽事剩餘兩圈的時候受慢車所阻,但是他沒有放棄任何機會,最後只以1秒之差屈居第二。
第三位英國車手兼路達的隊友赫徹臣 (Ian Hutchinson),落後冠軍27秒之多。

For the 40th running of the Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix, a host of former winners returned to the city to join in the celebrations. Despite having retired from competition some years ago, and with the last of his six Macau victories coming in 1987, the legendary “Rocket” Ron Haslam was not looking forward to seeing his record number of wins broken by Michael Rutter.
Briton Steve Plater, on board Yamaha 1000 emerged triumphant from a record-breaking 40th Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix to take victory. Plater passed Rutter early on in the race and, despite a furious battle which saw the pair break Rutter’s long-standing lap record no fewer than four times, stayed ahead of his rival until the chequered flag.
Rutter, on Honda 1000, was badly baulked by a slower rider two laps from home but continued to chase the race leader and was just under a second behind him at the chequered flag.
A third British racer and Rutter’s team mate, Ian Hutchinson was 27"down on the race winner.
Other Macau winners of the past joining Haslam for the anniversary were former World Champion and Macau winner in 1988 Kevin Schwantz, TT hero Mick Grant who took two Macau victories in the 1970’s and 80’s, and Macau champion in 1991, Didier de Radigues.

柏列達(Steve Plater)在第41屆澳門格蘭披治電單車大賽成功蟬聯錦標。
這位34歲的英國好手在比賽的第15圈,也就是最後一圈得到幸運之神眷顧。他與麥堅尼斯(John McGuiness)在髮夾彎遇上慢車。
2001年冠軍得主麥堅尼斯獲得一份安慰獎,以2分26.096秒(時速150.80kph)改寫了賽事的最快圈速紀錄。
駕駛Yamaha 1000參賽的柏列達順利越過兩輛慢車,最後以超過4秒勝出比賽。可是,麥堅尼斯卻遭該兩位互不相讓的車手所阻,只能眼睜睜的看著柏列達絕塵而去。
希望紀錄性七奪賽事冠軍的路達(Michael Rutter)/Kawasaki 1000甚至未能躋身頒獎台。在比賽尚餘三圈的時候,路達與奧地利車手軒德利達(Thomas Hinterreiter)/Yamaha 1000並肩向呈90的葡京彎進發,由於對手完全地佔據了行車路線,路達別無選擇,只能讓戰馬直衝向安全通道。
In the 41st running of the Macau Motor Cycle Grand Prix, Steve Plater claimed his second victory in succession.
But the 34-year-old British racer had a massive stroke of luck on the 15th and final lap of the event when he and rival John McGuinness, on Honda encountered two lapped riders at the Melco Hairpin.
McGuinness, winner of the race in 2001, had the consolation of setting a new lap record for the event at 2:26.096 seconds (150.80kph).
Plater was able to pass them and pull away to win by over four seconds on Yamaha 1000, while McGuinness who was baulked by the two riders having their own private battle could only watch as Plater pulled away.
Michael Rutter/Kawasaki 1000, looking for a record-breaking seventh win in the race, did not even have the consolation of a podium finish. He was forced to take to the slip road at the 90 degree Lisboa corner three laps from the end when Austrian rival Thomas Hinterreiter/Yamaha 1000 rode side-by-side with him towards the turn.

路達在比賽中看似有機會獲得冠軍,因其中兩位領先車手先後因機件故障退出比賽。在首圈比賽戲劇性地從路達手上搶走領導地位的澳洲車手當奴(Cameron Donald)在第5圈遇到機件故障被逼退出比賽。伊斯頓領先路達3秒之多,而且有越贏越遠之勢。

The 42nd Macau Motor Cycle Grand Prix, Scottish racer Stuart Easton took his first-ever victory, with six-time winner Rutter finishing second and John McGuinness rounding out the podium.
Rutter’s victory looked to be his for the taking when two of the frontrunners were forced out with mechanical problems. Though he dramatically took the lead from Rutter on the opening lap, Cameron Donald was forced to stop on lap five with a mechanical problem.
That left Easton in the lead with a margin of almost three seconds from Rutter and pulling away.
On lap eight, pole-sitter Conor Cummins suffered a mechanical breakdown, just as he looked as if he might pose a threat to Rutter and Easton ahead of him. With Cummins out, Rutter realized he was closing in the 25-year old Scot and was determined to catch him in the hopes of forcing him to make a mistake. The gap closed to within a fifth of a second, but a determined Easton would not give away his debut victory and charged on to take the chequered flag by a 2.7 second margin. McGuinness was nearly 30 seconds behind Rutter and finished third.

26歲蘇格蘭車手伊斯頓(Stuart Easton)在第43屆澳門格蘭披治電單車大賽的兩節排位賽後脫穎而出,沒有一位對手能與他匹敵。
星期六上演了一幕扣人心弦的比賽,排頭位的伊斯頓最後衛冕成功,連續第二年奪取澳門格蘭披治電單車大賽錦標,過程中更刷新圈速紀錄。伊斯頓的戰車的後輪胎在比賽中出現問題,要鬥到最後幾碼才能宣布稱王。
伊斯頓開賽後一馬當先,一度領先第二位的車手超過六秒,可是他的戰馬的後輪在第六圈起便出現明顯磨損。勁敵金明斯很快便追上,他在這場15圈大戰的倒數第二圈追過伊斯頓,可是伊斯頓拒絕不戰而降。
赫徹臣獲得第三名,是他參加澳門大賽以來的最佳成績。他在比賽中與29歲英國車手莊遜(Gary Johnson)鬥得難分難解,最後赫徹臣成功突圍,以超過五秒戰勝對方。
德國車手賓斯高化(Rico Penzkofer)/BMW落後莊遜9秒得第五名,六屆冠軍得主路達(Michael Rutter)只得一席令人失望的第六名。法國車手巴華天以超過三秒擊敗香港車手張煒安獲Supersport 600組冠軍,本地車手費蘭迪斯(Joao Fernandes)獲第三名。
The 43rd Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix, Stuart Easton, the 26-year-old Scottish racer, took pole position after qualifying fastest in the two timed sessions after none of his rivals were able to get near his best lap.Easton finished over four fifths of a second faster than Conor Cummins/Kawasaki, the 23-year-old racer from the Isle of Man.
Michael Rutter, the 36-year-old Leicestershire rider who was looking for his record-breaking seventh win in Macau, was third fastest on Kawasaki 1000, but his machine finally broke down on his final lap of qualifying after suffering a misfire for most of the session.Another British rider, Ian Hutchinson/Kawasaki, the 30-year-old Yorkshireman, was fourth fastest to complete the front row of the grid for the 15-lap race.

Easton led the pack away from the start and had built up a lead of over six seconds before his rear tyre began to show signs of excessive wear on lap 6. His main rival, Conor Cummins, then started to catch him rapidly. On the penultimate lap of the 15-lap race, Cummins took the lead, but Easton was not giving up without a fight.

Ian Hutchinson came home in third place, his best ever finish in the event, after catching and re-passing Gary Johnson, the 29-year-old from Lincolnshire, in the closing stages to cross the line over 5" ahead.
German Rico Penzkofer/BMW was fifth home, nine seconds behind Johnson, with six-times winner of the race Michael Rutter a disappointing sixth.
Frenchman Amaury Baratin won the Supersport 600 Class, beating Cheung Wai On by just over 3", while third was local rider Joao Fernandes.

路達先聲奪人,戲劇性地在最後一節排位賽最後一圈擊敗伊斯頓,獲得排頭位。代表Honda車隊出賽的另一名英國車手麥堅尼斯(John McGuinness)排第三位。

伊斯頓馬上加快步伐,在第7圈跑出最快圈速,大大打擊路達士氣。英國車手安德魯斯(Simon Andrews)一直守在第三位,戰馬卻在最後一圈末段失靈,美國車手杜爾(Jeremy Toye)幸運地獲得季軍。The 44th Macau Motor Cycle GP, six time winner Michael Rutter came to Macau seeking a record-breaking seventh win, while two time champion Stuart Easton was on the hunt for his third Macau title.
Rutter claimed a dramatic pole position on the very last lap of the final qualifying session ahead of Easton. Another British rider, John McGuinness, was third fastest on Honda.

Rutter may have started from pole, but it was Easton who took the flag in the 44th running of one of the world’s most challenging motorcycle street races. However, he had to beat off a strong challenge from Rutter in the first part of the race until it was red flagged after six laps following an incident. At the restart, Easton made a second attempt to open up a gap over Rutter, until his rival closed in again and threatened to catch and pass the Scot.
Easton responded by quickening his pace, setting a new lap record on the seventh lap, breaking Rutter’s spirit. Toye grabbed a dramatic third place within sight of the finish line after Britain’s Simon Andrews struck mechanical problems on the final lap.

路達過去六年一直和夏士林並列,期望今年駕駛Ducati 1200戰馬突破紀錄,向第七座澳門錦標進發。
賽事改在星期日進行,路達未能發揮排頭位優勢,起步遭赫徹臣超越。赫徹臣進佔領先位置,麥堅尼斯和謝索普之後亦在葡京彎前乘勢超過路達。
赫徹臣開始拉開距離,謝索普、麥堅尼斯和路達三人隨即展開大戰。麥堅尼斯在第二圈末段下跌至第四位。路達再次衝刺,一圈後升上第二,快速接近赫徹臣。路達第四圈在葡京彎超過赫徹臣進佔第一位,謝索普則升上第二。

The 45th Macau Motor Cycle Grand Prix, With rain disrupting the programme , it was a relief for the riders to get the qualifying session under way on Saturday afternoon.
Michael Rutter, on Ducati 1200, was on the hunt for a seventh Macau title, looking to finally better the existing record he had shared with Ron Haslam since 2005.
With the Grand Prix run on the Sunday, although Rutter had the advantage of pole position, it was Hutchinson who stormed off the grid and into the lead off the start. McGuinness too managed to get by the veteran in the run to Lisboa, with Jessopp following suit.

While Hutchinson set about building a gap from his rivals, Jessopp, McGuinness and Rutter were engaged in a three-way battle, with McGuinness dropping back down to fourth. Rutter was on a charge, and on his finest form, moving up to second and catching Hutchinson fast.
Closing in fast, Rutter grabbed the lead from Hutchinson on lap four, with team mate Jessopp moving up to second.
To a roar of approval from the crowd, Rutter proved he is the most successful rider ever on the Guia Circuit, taking his seventh victory with a margin of 4.772 seconds from Jessopp, Hutchinson and American rider Jeremy Toye.

降雨打亂了節奏,第46屆澳門格蘭披治電單車大賽安排於星期日、在澳門格蘭披治F3大賽之後舉行。

然而路達已經遙遙領先,無法追上,謝索普再次取得亞軍。安德魯斯(Simon Andrews)駕駛BMW在前幾圈很快,最終獲得第三名,這也是他在澳門的最好成績。

The 46th Macau Motor Cycle Grand Prix, In the legendary Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix, the two-wheel ‘King of Macau’, Michael Rutter, was on the hunt for a lucky eighth victory aboard an SMT Honda. Having secured his name in the history books in 2011 when he took set a new record of seven Macau wins, he was looking to go one better.
With rain interrupting the schedule, the 46th Edition of the Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix was run on Sunday, after the end of the Formula 3 Macau Grand Prix.

As the strong field of more than 20 riders roared off the grid, Rutter was untouchable, putting on a masterclass display of wheel-perfect racing. Making his hallmark fast start, he was never really challenged until Jessopp recovered from his poor start to fight his way back up to second, charging up from fourth in just a single lap.
However, Rutter was already too far ahead to catch and Jessopp had to settle for second place once again. Simon Andrews on an Ice Valley BMW claimed a strong third after some very quick laps early one, his best result so far at Macau.
Rutter’s win, and McGuinness’s seventh place finish, earned their SMT Racing team the inaugural Macau Motor Cycle Grand Prix Team Award.

Yamaha車隊的赫徹臣,在最後時刻勇奪頭位,阻止了路達(Michael Rutter)/Honda摘下第十個頭位的腳步,兩人的最快圈速只相差0.05秒。麥堅尼斯(John McGuinness)/Honda躋身前三。
在縮短了的11圈比賽中,路達獲得亞軍,沒能延續勝利腳步,贏得第九冠。莊遜第一次在澳門登上了領獎台。麥堅尼斯起步不錯,率先進入葡京彎,最終獲得第四,領先斯多亞(James Storrar)。

The Yamaha rider grabbed pole position for the 47th Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix in a stunning last-gasp pole that denied eight-time winner Michael Rutter his 10th pole position. Just over5/100"separated the pair, with Honda TT Legends rider John McGuinness rounding out the top three.

Saturday’s Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix saw Hutchinson get off to a slow start from pole and was fourth going into Lisboa, but immediately set about recovering his position, first getting by John McGuinness, and then by Gary Johnson before passing eight-time winner Michael Rutter and immediately opening a gap to complete an incredible comeback and cement his name in the Macau history books.
Rutter finished second in the shortened 11-lap race, denied a ninth victory this year, with Johnson earning his first career Macau podium in third. McGuinness made an excellent start to lead into Lisboa, but finished fourth ahead of James Storrar.

經過一番激鬥後,最後由Yamaha的八屆冠軍車手路達(Michael Rutter)勇獲亞軍席位,謝索普(Martin Jessopp)/BMW則獲季軍。
首輪排位賽後路達本有望在星期六的正賽以排頭位起步,豈料伊斯頓在次輪排位賽中迎頭趕上,刷出最快單圈速,鎖定頭位,路達只能屈居第二位起步。其後的依次為莊士頓(Lee Johnston)、去年冠軍赫徹臣(Ian Hutchinson)和斯多亞(James Storrar)。

路達起步有點失準,但很快抓準節奏,奮力追趕前方的伊斯頓。後來路達失控撞向護牆,

The 48th Macau Motor Cycle Grand Prixsaw Stuart Easton on Kawasaki ride to a dominant victory – his fourth in as many attempts. Easton had last raced – and won – in Macau in 2010, following wins in 2008 and 2009, and returned to the Guia Circuit for the first time in 2014 after a three-year absence.
Second across the line was eight-time Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix winner Michael Rutter on a Yamaha who was locked in a race-long battle for second. Martin Jessopp on BMW was third on the podium.
Easton set the fastest time in the second qualifying session to take pole position for Saturday’s race, with Rutter, who had taken provisional pole after the first qualifying session, second fastest overall. Rounding out the top five was Lee Johnston, last year’s winner Ian Hutchinson and James Storrar.
In Saturday’s 15-lap Grand Prix, Easton immediately began pulling a gap, increasing his advantage by over a second a lap on every lap but the last.
However, behind him a white-knuckle thriller was underway. Hutchinson launched an early bid for glory at Lisboa but made a mistake and took the escape road. He would retire on the first lap.
Although Rutter started slowly, he was soon up to second place in pursuit of Easton. After clipping the wall, Rutter decided second place would have to do, but was then forced to defend his position first from Lee Johnston, then Gary Johnson and finally Jessopp. Behind Jessopp were Johnson and Johnston, fourth and fifth, respectively.

邁入第49屆的澳門格蘭披治電單車大賽中包括四位曾經征服這場遠東經典賽事的王者:伊斯頓(Stuart Easton)、赫徹臣(Ian Hutchinson)、路達(Michael Rutter)和麥堅尼斯(John McGuinness)。
儘管如此,比賽的桂冠最終卻落在以精湛車技領先6.2秒衝線的赫爾文(Peter Hickman)。
在整個周末均表現出色的謝索普奪得亞軍,他分別在排位賽和熱身中做出最快圈速,在正賽冒險採用軟胎,試圖於早段先鎖定頭位再穩守至終點。可惜事與願違,緊隨在後的勁敵赫爾文在中段成功超前搶佔領先位置,謝索普雖與後方對手保持相當的距離,但最後仍未能收復失地,屈居第二。
在12圈的激戰中,各位兩輪騎士均施展渾身解數力求登上領獎台。澳門八冠王路達奮力搏鬥後最終以落後頭位車手十秒取得季軍,為自己的澳門參賽史再增添一個獎盃。作為其時代最成功的公路電單車手,經驗老將麥堅尼斯於最後時刻在海角遊魂彎從外側驚險超越莊遜,為這場30分鐘的年度格電大戰上演最激動人心的畫面。
Four previous Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix winners were among the impressive entry for the 49th running of the Far East Classic: Stuart Easton, Ian Hutchinson, Michael Rutter and John McGuinness.
However, it was Peter Hickman who upset the form book by taking a spectacular win in a race that was closer than the final margin of 6.2 seconds would make it appear.
Second place for Martin Jessopp was scant reward for his hard work and pace throughout the weekend. Convincingly fastest in qualifying and warm-up, he took a gamble on opening enough of an early advantage on a softer tyre to maintain his lead to the end of 12 laps, but by half-distance the dice had fallen in Hickman’s favour and Jessopp had no reply, though he was far enough ahead of the rest of the field that his second place was never under threat.
After a 12-lap battle, Michael Rutter finished third, adding to his vast array of silverware earned at Macau but missing out on increasing his record eight-win tally by just under ten seconds – that was the margin between first and third places on an afternoon when a dozen riders all tried their hardest to get on the podium.
It was the seasoned McGuinness, the most successful road racer of his generation, who provided the final thrills, swooping past Gary Johnson on the wrong side of the tarmac at the endless left-hander of Dona Maria in a move worthy of a bid for victory, easily the most breathtaking moment in thirty minutes of exceptional racing.

The 50th Macau Motor Cycle Grand Prix, While this year saw Macao host an unprecedented two world cup titles, the Guia street circuit was also home to the 50th running of the Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix. The 2016 edition of the Far East Classic was one for the ages, with Briton Peter Hickman /BMW taking a second consecutive victory.
From pole, Jessopp didn’t get the start he needed and Rutter seized the opportunity, taking the lead. But Jessopp wasn’t done and he battled Rutter for the lead, with the pair and Macao newcomer Glenn Irwin/Ducati all swapping places in the slipstream and under brakes in all the classic overtaking spots, with Hickman just behind them.
With a couple of laps to go, Hickman swept past Rutter. After taking the lead, Hickman was never challenged for the win, but Rutter was forced to defend against a determined Jessopp. Rutter, however, never wavered and as the trio crossed the finish line, the crowd rose to its feet.
While the celebrations for the 50th anniversary culminated with a classic Grand Prix, homage to the iconic race had been paid all week long. Former winners Sadeo Asami, Mick Grant, Philip McCallen and Steve Plater joined Grand Prix week, while a commemorative stamp issue by Macao Post featured Grant, Rutter, six-time winner Ron Haslam, Kevin Schwantz and Hiroshi Hasegawa, the first ever winner of the Motorcycle Grand Prix in 1967. A commemorative Macau Pass set featured Hickman, Rutter and John McGuinness, while local Macao brand Worker Playground designed and produced a collection of apparel in honour of the Golden Jubilee. A parade of classic bikes took to the track on Saturday, representing each era of the motorcycle.
