The Macau Grand Prix Committee (MGPC) and the Macau Government Tourist Office once again cooperated this year to organize a promotional activity at the Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai from 13th to 15th of April. The Macau Grand Prix promotional booth was located at the Waterscape Square with an exhibition area of 150 square meters, and the eye-catching display area included two racing vehicles: the 1990 Macau Formula 3 Grand Prix-winning machine driven by Michael Schumacher; plus the motorcycle ridden by Robert Dunlop, 1989 Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix champion. The display's winners' podium was a popular feature for more photo opportunities. Located next to this was a photo exhibition area which highlighted images of Macau and excitement of the Grand Prix, giving visitors a chance to see the many different aspects of the city. In addition, promotional materials and posters were distributed to attract visitors to Macau and the Grand Prix. This year, a 'Q & A Lucky Draw' activity was held, with winners taking home a Macau Grand Prix souvenir. The successful promotion attracted a large number of visitors. Based on information provided by the F1 organizer, there were a total of 185,000 spectators over the three-day event. Participating in the event were representatives of the MGPC, namely Deputy-Coordinator Davina Chu, and members Charles Lo, Chong Coc Veng, Francisco Ribeiro, Mario Sin, Luis Lui and Doris Leong.
