the main event of this year's 69th Macau Grand Prix, the Sands
China Formula 4 Macau Grand Prix, as part of the company's

In addition to the race sponsorship, Sands China installed an
interactive Grand Prix pop-up booth at The Londoner®

excitement of the Macau Grand Prix with both the Macao community and its visitors.

drivers well and to get a closer look at the iconic Formula cars.

race, an exciting event that offers genuine prospects for aspiring
young race car drivers to progress into the international racing
scene," said Dr. Wong. "We are proud to back the Macao SAR
government's efforts to boost economic development and promote
'sport+tourism' during the pandemic, and it is a pleasure to
support Macao's signature auto
racing event again this year."
Sands China's Grand Prix pop-up
booth at Shoppes at Londoner featured a live feed of the Grand Prix
races on a large LED screen along with a seating area for viewers.

realistic racing simulator. The booth also featured interactive
mini-games and a victory podium as a fun backdrop for photos.
