Macau Grand Prix organisers have assembled a cast of top-line drivers from the event’s history for a special race to celebrate its 60th running.

Stars from past Macau Grand Prix and Macau Guia (touring car races) will line up in cars from China’s season-long Volkswagen Scirocco R-Cup. The invited drivers are split roughly half and half between international aces and Asian racers of the past.

The international entry is headed by ex-Formula 1 racers Stefan Johansson, Nicola Larini, Martin Donnelly, David Brabham, Emanuele Pirro and Julian Bailey.

IndyCar racer Mike Conway will also race, along with touring car veterans Alain Menu, Rickard Rydell, Steve Soper, Jorg Muller, Duncan Huisman and Tim Harvey.

From the Asian field, 2008 Macau GP winner Keisuke Kunimoto makes a return after disappearing from top-level racing since his Formula Renault 3.5 campaign in 2010. His former TOM’S team principal Nobuhide Tachi, who won the 1974 and ’75 Guia races in a Toyota Celica, is also entered.

Drivers will randomly draw the keys to their cars by lottery before track action kicks off.
