All attention was on Macau as the city hosted the traditional 72nd Macau Grand Prix, with the FIA GT World Cup once again taking centre stage on the Guia Circuit’s unforgiving streets. The weekend delivered its usual blend of precision, pressure and peril, and this time it was Ferrari that rose to the occasion. Antonio Fuoco steered the marque to its first-ever triumph in the blue-riband GT showcase, giving Ferrari its second world title in as many weekends.

FIA GT World Cup – Macau: Fuoco conquers Macau as Ferrari finally claims the FIA GT World Cup

Antonio Fuoco delivered Ferrari’s first FIA GT World Cup victory with a commanding run in the AF Corse SRL Ferrari 296 GT3, converting his Qualification Race and Super Pole success into a flawless lights-to-flag win on Sunday. The Italian controlled the restart after an early safety car and pulled clear to win by 3.960 seconds, sealing the first non-German triumph in the event’s eight editions.

The opening lap immediately produced chaos. Alessio Picariello’s Porsche spun after light contact with Raffaele Marciello’s ROWE Racing BMW M4 GT3 exiting Turn 1. Marciello continued to carry superior speed through the high-speed Mandarin kink and dived up the inside of Yifei Ye to take second place.

Ayhancan Güven — who had just overtaken Ye for third in the Harmony Racing Ferrari — was sent into the Lisboa barriers when teammate Laurin Heinrich’s Schumacher CLRT Porsche 911 GT3 R arrived with huge momentum and was pushed from behind under braking. The impact triggered a chain reaction with Luca Engstler’s Lamborghini Huracán GT3 and Dorian Boccolaci’s Lamborghini, bringing out the safety car.

The stewards found Joel Eriksson, running directly behind Heinrich in the Team Absolute Racing Audi R8 LMS GT3, responsible for the contact that set off the collision, handing him a post-race 10-second penalty.

When racing resumed on lap four, Fuoco immediately rebuilt his advantage, controlling the pace in the AF Corse Ferrari while Marciello held firm in second and Heinrich stabilised his podium position. With overtaking scarce beyond the opening-lap chaos, the order at the front remained unchanged through to the flag.

With Eriksson penalised, Ye was classified fourth ahead of Eriksson, followed by Sheldon van der Linde, who charged from P12 to sixth in the second BMW. Christophe Haase (Audi), Yi Deng (Porsche), Laurens Vanthoor (Porsche) and Benjamin Goethe (Audi) completed the top ten, Vanthoor salvaging a result after his heavy FP1 crash left his Porsche short on performance.

Macau specialist Edoardo Mortara saw his race end prematurely when his Audi stopped with an electrical issue at Melco Hairpin on lap 12.
