Macau GP

[G.Irish]

The Macau Grand Prix is sort of like Asia's version of the Isle of Man TT, except that its an actual elbow-to-elbow race, unlike the sort of rally format of the Isle of Man. The Macau GP is the race that yielded this pic from last year:



Here's a link to video highlights of this year's race. Michael Rutter from the HM Plant Honda team in the British Superbike series took the win, making it his 6th win of the Macau GP. Video highlights:

Naturally the Macau GP is very dangerous and unfortunately a rider got killed in practice this year. It sucks because this would've been a year with no fatalities that I know of had it not been for that one.

The really cool thing about that photo is that the rider was setting an absolutely blistering lap and wasn't really at all concious of the fact that he made contact with the wall.

An absolutely incredible race, though, thanks for the link
