Hello, guys. How are you? Recently made a small walk around most of parts of Macau GP Guia circuit, was interesting to compare everyday real road to the track we have and can really enjoy in Raceroom racing simulator. As well, added comparison with AC. Its conversion of the treack, but visually look a bit different due to game Assetto Corsa specifics. Well, i can say, it is really close. #makemacaupopularinsimracing
Please note, that track presented in Raceroom and thereafter in AC is ~~2012-2014 irl based. Layout have not changed since then, but surroundings changed a bit.
There is no comparison after Melco hairpin, so it is 80% completed. As the reference in corners i use this map
it will be here around 40 collages of comparison. Lets go!
So, here we go from the start. We start with three photos of only REAL-RACEROOM comparison of track in racing condition. Real life reference photos were taken by me on Macau 2023 Gran Prix weekend. GT3 are featured here.

Then ahead is Paioi Turn #14. You can not go there on foot, so here is video of ride from the car from here to Turn 18 via “Police corner”and “Moorish Hill” straight.
Moorish Hill is named after the community of Moors which once resided in this part of Macao. All that remains today is the Islamic Mosque and Cemetery.
Dona Maria II – Turn 19.
Turn is coalled so beacuse small statue placed inside the walking area.
Donna Maria Bend is named after one of Macao’s seven hills which itself was named for one of Portugal’s 19th Century Queens. She was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1819, and her charitable nature won

View from this road
Melco Hairpin – Turn 20.
Probably the slowest turn in the world. And defenetely requires lot of skills to make it correct and fast.
The Melco Hairpin is located where the former Macau Electric Company (abbreviated to “Melco”) was housed. The original building was demolished making way for today’s CEM (Companhia de Electricidade de Macau) building.
“It is an incredibly tight downhill 180degree hairpin which, if you enter too quickly, can strand you on the outside left hand wall. Cars have been known to “back and fill” to get around. I approach it downhill at around 170kmh in either category of car using either third or fourth gear and brake earlier in the GT. Both cars will apex in first gear.” – Felix Rosenqvist.

So. that is all for today. I hope you have enjiyed it and feel inspirated to feel the beauty of this track in Raceroom. As for for AC, i would recommend to use this viersion by Reboot Team.
