The “FIA GT World Cup” is making its comeback in Macau after three years of absence. And the 70th edition of the legendary Grand Prix, which will take place from November 16 to 19, will welcome Mr. Macao in person.
The Italian-Swiss driver will drive an Audi, a brand with which he has already won the event in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2017. Mortara, who recently joined Mahindra for Formula E Season 10, had also won the legendary Macau Grand Prix, the unofficial world championship of Formula 3 with the Signature team in 2009 and 2010.
His seventh victory on the streets of the former Portuguese colony, “Edo” had won in a side race at the wheel of an Audi Sport R8 LMS Cup.
« We are very pleased with the commitment of our partner Audi Sport in Asia, said Chris Reinke, Head of Audi Sport Customer Racing.
With our Asian team, Edoardo Mortara has a real chance of winning this premier GT3 race that attracts worldwide attention. We look forward to the 70th edition of the famous Macau Grand Prix and the 2023 FIA World Cup. »
