Swiss trade show guests at the special show. Fredy Barth celebrates his comeback in the World Touring Car Championship in Macao in 2012.

Since 1954, the legendary Guia Circuit has been one of the most demanding race tracks in the world with many curves that can hardly be seen. The season finale of the World Touring Car Championship has also been held at the gates of Hong Kong since 2005. Motorcycles have also been racing there since 1967.

Each of the 19 curves becomes an adventure
The six-kilometer track is a very special challenge for both motorcycle pilots and car racers. Centimeters past the guard rails, the experts circle their racing machines - each lap becomes a new adventure with 19 sharp turns.

Race event
Threading to the blind. On the track with its blind curves, only the bravest have a real chance.

Spectacular virtual reality experience for fans
The guests will ride on the motorcycle of road racer Horst Saiger. On site will be the only German-speaking Macau winner Andy Hofmann and Swiss racer Fredy Barth, who has competed in Macau several times and has also had a serious accident there. Autograph hunters can look forward to two special guests of honor. Glenn Irwin - current Macau champion - and double winner Peter John Hickman will be coming to Zurich.

Race event
Grinding work on the guard rail. Scenes like this only happen in Macau. The picture shows Glenn Erwin on his way to winning the 2017 title.
