The GP is sponsored by the Macau tourist board and the Macau government. The race is held on a track that is little more than a road course on the city streets with zero run-off. Armco barriers line the edge of the track and leave no room for error.
Overseas travel is always entertaining.
The next step is to fill the container with a 500 Grand Prix bike and all the equipment it takes to put forth a professional effort throughout a race weekend. When this is all done, hassle your way through customs and ship it all off to a land far away where you'll hopefully meet up with said container a few days later. The team's goal would certainly have its challenges, so they figured that there's no better place then Macau for a shakedown, and Michael Barnes was the perfect rider. He has raced at Macau before, his best finish a fourth place in 1993 on a Fastline GSX-R1100. To get the bike and all the equipment over to Macau, the team had to build the large crate for the bike and other racing paraphernalia themselves.
