Not to be confused with 2024 Macau Grand Prix.

The 2024 FIA GT World Cup (formally the Macau GT Cup – FIA GT World Cup) was a Grand Touring (GT) sports car race held on the Guia Circuit in Macau on 17 November 2024. It was the seventh FIA GT World Cup and the fourteenth GT3 car race held in Macau. The Automobile General Association Macau-China, the event's promoter, appointed the motorsports organiser SRO Motorsports Group to form a grid. The edition included two races: a 12-lap qualifying race to set the 16-lap main race's starting order.

Maro Engel of Mercedes-AMG Team GruppeM Racing won the main race after finishing fourth in the previous afternoon's qualification race, won by TORO Racing powered by MCG driver Raffaele Marciello. Engel led the final two laps of the main race after Marciello crashed with AF Corse SRL driver Antonio Fuoco at Lisboa turn while vying for victory on lap 15. Augusto Farfus of Team KRC finished second, while his BMW brandmate Sheldon van der Linde finished third for Team WRT.

On 28 February 2024, the FIA World Motor Sport Council met in Geneva and confirmed the 2024 FIA GT World Cup.[1][2] The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) sanctioned the event, its seventh edition, the fourteenth race in Macau for GT3-specification car since 2008 and an undercard to the 2024 Macau Grand Prix.[3][4] It was held at the 22-turn 6.120 km (3.803 mi) Guia Circuit in the streets of the Chinese special administrative region of Macau on 17 November after three days of practice and qualifying,[5][6][7] and was co-organised by the SRO Motorsports Group.[8][9] Pirelli was the event's control tyre supplier.[10] All cars used a wholly sustainable fuel made from second-generation bio components sourced from bio waste for the first time in the event's history.[11]

To enter the event, drivers must have competed in an FIA-recognised GT3 championship race within the previous two seasons or have extensive expertise in Grand Touring (GT) cars. Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze-rated drivers were allowed to compete, however the FIA GT World Cup Committee may deny a competitor's entrance if they are deemed inexperienced.[12] According to the race regulations, entry was limited to 23 cars and open through a registration portal from 17 June until 29 July 2024.[9][13] The FIA and the Macau Grand Prix Organizing Committee revealed the entry list on 25 October, which included six GT3 manufacturers (Audi, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes-AMG and Porsche) and 23 drivers,[N 1][3] an increase from four from the previous year.[14] There were 15 platinum-graded drivers and five-gold rated racers,[15] and all five preceding FIA GT World Cup winners, Maro Engel, Augusto Farfus, Raffaele Marciello, Edoardo Mortara and Laurens Vanthoor, partook in the event.[3]

Practice and qualifying

Two half an hour practice sessions were held on 14 November, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon.[5] The first session began on a wet track but quickly dried, allowing for quicker lap times until the rain returned near the session's end.[16] Mortara set the session's fastest lap of 2:33.309, 0.824 seconds faster than second-placed Laurin Heinrich.[17] Daniel Juncadella, Engel, Yifei Ye, Daniel Serra, Laurens Vanthoor, Luca Engstler, Farfus and Sheldon van der Linde were in positions three to ten.[18] Alessio Picariello caused the first red flag period by spinning at the Melco hairpin exit and blocked the circuit. Serra spun in the same corner and practice was stopped for a second time to enable the recovery of his Ferrari.[16][18] Vanthoor's car was undamaged despite running wide at the hairpin with 16 minutes left.[17] The track was damp but drying quickly for the second session until light rain fell towards the end.[19][20][21] On his first push lap,[19] Picariello lapped fastest with a time of 2:21.329. He was 0.304 seconds faster than teammate Laurens Vanthoor in second.[20] Serra, Marciello, Farfus, Heinrich, Engel, Juncadella, Thomas Preining and Mortara followed in the top ten.[22] Some drivers hit the barriers during the session.[21] Engstler lost control of his car at the right-hand turn past Faraway corner and damaged the front of his car against the barriers around seven minutes in.[19][22] When Van Der Linde hit the wall with his left side at the fast Mandarin Bend corner, practice was halted. It took a crane to retrieve his car.[20][22] His team fixed the car and found no evidence of chassis damage.[23][24] Adderly Fong spun into the barriers cresting a hill at the San Francisco Hill corner and damaged the front of his car. He managed to return to the pit lane, so the session continued.[20][21][22]

Raffaele Marciello (pictured in 2022) took his fourth successive pole position in the FIA GT World Cup with the fastest lap time in the qualifying session.

Friday afternoon's half-hour qualifying session determined the qualification race's starting order with each driver's fastest lap times.[5][12] After that morning's rain, the circuit had dried up, and for the first time, drivers could push hard in dry weather.[25] Most teams chose to split qualifying into two parts so they could use slick tyres again.[24][26] Marciello secured his fourth consecutive FIA GT World Cup pole position with a lap time of 2:16.509 on a new set of tyres.[27][28] Dries Vanthoor took the front row for BMW after qualifying 0.053 seconds behind Marciello in second place, despite being fastest after the first round of fast laps.[25][29] Engel was briefly fastest until he fell to third after a time that would have been quick enough to take pole position had to be abandoned due to a red flag.[29][30] In his first Macau race since the 2014 Macau Grand Prix, race rookie Antonio Fuoco took fourth fastest among Ferrari drivers, ahead of Farfus in fifth.[30][31] Van Der Linde qualified sixth with his rebuilt car.[27] Laurens Vanthoor was the best-placed Porsche entrant in seventh.[30][32] Picairello was eighth, Ricardo Feller took ninth and Christopher Haase came tenth.[31] After a stoppage prevented Mortara from improving his lap on a new set of tyres, he qualified 11th.[30][33] Ye was 12th, followed by Juncadella and Preining.[32] Ralf Aron, 15th, crashed into the tyre barrier at Police corner but was able to continue driving.[34] He was ahead of Serra in 16th.[32] 17th-placed Heinrich lost control of his car at the start of qualifying and damaged its front-left against the wall at the right-hand Lisboa turn. Race officials halted qualifying, but Heinrich managed to go return to pit lane.[30][34] He was able to resume qualifying after his car was repaired.[31] Matteo Cairoli took 18th after a puncture in the closing ten minutes.[32][26] Fong qualified his rebuilt car 19th.[31][32] Engstler ran wide at the exit of Mandarin Bend corner because he had not driven on a dry track, lost control of the car's rear, and crashed into the outside barriers, severely damaging it.[29][35] Despite his severe injuries, he was conscious and taken to the hospital for a preventative examination.[28][30][35] Race officials decided to end qualifying early with four minutes left because the circuit was covered in debris.[27][34] The Chinese duo of James Yu Kuai and Leo Ye Hongli took 21st and 22nd.[32] Jules Gounon failed to set a lap time after severely damaging his car's left-front corner at the uphill Police corner but returned to the pit lane.[32][34] This meant Gounon began the qualifying race from the back of the grid.[31]

Post-qualifying

The FIA altered the balance of performance to try and create parity within the field.[9] For the rest of the event, the BMW M4 GT3's performance was lowered by 40 millibars by lowering the turbocharger boost at all power levels. All other GT3 cars had no performance changes.[36]

Qualification race

Antonio Fuoco finished the qualification race in third place.

The 12-lap qualifying race to set the main race's starting order was held on 16 November,[5][12] in sunny weather conditions and an air temperature of 26 °C (79 °F) from 13:50 Macau Standard Time (UTC+08:00).[26][39] 23 cars were scheduled to start, but Engstler was withdrawn from the event due to significant damage to his vehicle during qualifying.[40][41] When the lights went out to begin the qualification race from a rolling start,[42][43] Marciello made a clean start from pole position until he made a minor driver error through the first corner.[44] Dries Vanthoor thus could pass Marciello for the lead on the outside heading into the Mandarin Oriental Bend turn. However, Vanthoor ran too late for the turn and ran too deep into the right-hand Lisboa corner, which allowed Marciello to retake the lead on the inside.[36][40][44] Behind them, Fuoco took third from Engel after putting his car on the outside at turn one, allowing him to pass Engel at Mandarin Oriental Bend corner.[44] It transpired to be the only overtake in the leading group of drivers and no driver gained one place from their starting position.[45] Laurens Vanthoor sent Haase into the trackside barrier into turn one when the race began and Farfus battled Van Der Linde for fifth.[43][46] Feller lost two places on the first lap and Mortara moved into tenth.[47]

The first two drivers pulled away from the rest of the field as Fuoco spent most of the race battling Engel for third position until Engel focused on the approaching BMW duo of Farfus and Van Der Linde. The gap between Marciello and Dries Vanthoor fluctuated for the rest of the race, but for much of it, it was more than a second.[46] Dries Vanthoor pushed hard to gain on Marciello in the final laps,[40][44] setting a series of fastest laps,[48] but Marciello maintained the race lead to win the qualification race and secure pole position for the main race.[40][42] Dries Vanthoor finished second, 0.666 seconds behind, and Fuoco completed the podium finishers in third.[41] Engel finished in fourth.[46] The BMW duo of Farfus and Van Der Linde (who set the race's fastest lap on the final lap) were in the starting positions of fifth and sixth.[47][49] Picariello was the highest-finishing Porsche driver in seventh, ahead of his fellow Belgian and teammate Laurens Vanthoor in eighth.[41][49] Haase was the best of the Audi drivers in ninth and Mortara took tenth.[48] Feller in 11th put heavy pressure onto Mortara throughout the race with both drivers close together but was unable to pass him.[42][47] Juncadella, Ye Yifei, Aron, Preining, Serra, Heinrich, Cairoli, Fong, Ye Hongli, Yu and Gounon were the final finishers.[43] There were no major incidents during the race,[46] and all 22 starters finished.[48]

Main race

The 16-lap main race was scheduled to commence at 12:25 local time,[5] in wet and humid weather conditions of between 22 and 26 °C (72 and 79 °F) on 16 November,[50][51] but heavy rain in Macau forced the FIA to move forward the start by 15 minutes because it was concerned about more rain.[7][52] The race started behind the safety car due to poor visibility and a soggy track surface with standing water.[26][53][54] After acclimatisation to the track conditions,[53] drivers were allowed to race one another starting from lap six when the safety car was removed at the end of lap five.[7][52] Marciello maintained the race lead from Dries Vanthoor, Fuoco and Engel,[55] with drivers making attempts at effecting an overtake in multiple sections of the circuit.[53] On lap seven, Cairoli pulled off into the run-off area at Lisboa corner to retire with a suspected problem.[56][57] The following lap saw Fuoco challenge Dries Vanthoor for second,[55] and found an opening to overtake him on the inside of the Reservoir Bend corner when the lap ended.[58][59] As Fuoco began to gain on race leader Marciello,[54] Dries Vanthoor came under pressure from Engel in third.[55]

Maro Engel (pictured in 2009) took advantage of a collision between Fuoco and Marciello on lap 15 of the main race to win the FIA GT World Cup for the second time.

On lap nine, as the BMW continued to be faster on the straights,[60] Engel made minor contact with the rear of Dries Vanthoor's car, sending him into the guardrail barrier at Faraway Hill turn in the circuit's mountain section.[53][56][59] As a result of the collision breaking his right-rear toe link, Dries Vanthoor retired in the pit lane.[48][58][59] moving Engel to third.[57] Without any pressure, Fuoco decreased Marciello's 1.6-second lead to nothing in just one lap.[53][60] Marciello had to be circumspect due of the BMW's pace advantage on the straights, which meant Fuoco was faster than him throughout the lap save for the fast Mandarin Oriental Bend curve and the straight.[52][54] Soon after, Engel gained on the first two drivers and entered the battle for the win. As a result, the first three runners pursued each other closely for the next six laps, but none of them managed to make a pass.[58][59][60] At the end of lap 14,[54] Fuoco passed Marciello on the inside for the lead at Reservoir Bend turn in an near identical manoevure of his overtake on Dries Vanthoor.[59][61]

Marciello attempted to immediately retaliate and nearly drew alongside Fuoco on the start/finish straight.[59] He accelerated through the Mandarin Oriental Bend bend faster and closed in on Fuoco on the drive into Lisboa corner.[52][60] Fuoco defended the lead by going to the inside,[53] and Marciello touched the back of Fuoco's Ferrari before the turn into the corner as both drivers tried to brake as late as possible for Lisboa turn.[7][60] Engel took the lead after this contact sent Fuoco and Marciello down the escape road and eliminated their chances of winning the race.[7][52][61] Fuoco dropped to ninth while Marciello made further contact with the barrier at Teddy Yip corner and retired in the pit lane.[59][60] Race officials penalised Engel five seconds on the last lap for his earlier accident with Dries Vanthoor, but he pushed hard without aerodynamic turbulence to keep the lead and negate the penalty.[53][59][61] He won the race ahead of Farfus by 6.641 seconds, winning his second FIA GT World Cup, Mercedes-Benz's third in succession and his fourth GT victory at Macau.[52][53] Van Der Linde was almost four seconds behind Farfus and completed the podium finishers in third, ahead of a close group comprising Picariello, Laurens Vanthoor, Haase, Mortara, Feller, Fuoco and Juncadella.[7][52] Ye Yifei, Aron, Heinrich, Serra, Preining, Ye Hongli, Fong, Marciello, Gounon and Yu were the final classified finishers.[50]
