The “Macao Grand Prix Museum X The Pirelli Legend” – Racing Theme Exhibition was officially launched at the Macao Grand Prix Museum’s basement on 10 September.
The special exhibition is held in partnership between the museum and Italian tyre manufacturer Pirelli.
A variety of motorsport tyres are exhibited for museum visitors to gain a closer picture of motor racing culture in different dimensions.
Pirelli APAC CEO Andrea Maganzani said the exhibition is more than just a showcase of Pirelli’s motorsport journey. It is a “celebration of the passion, innovation and sustainability that define the future of racing”.
He hoped that the exhibition would inspire visitors with a comprehensive understanding of motorsport’s “technical heartbeat”, the tyre, according to a press release issued by the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO).
The exhibition displays nine types of tyres, including the special-edition tyre imprinted with the dragon pattern – donated by Pirelli to the Macau Grand Prix Organizing Committee last year, one Formula-one tyre and seven motorsport tyre models used in the Macau Grand Prix.
It offers motorsport enthusiasts a close encounter with Pirelli’s exquisite art of tyre design, a window onto the core technique behind the unparalleled speed of racing cars. Exhibition visitors can also embark on a video journey from the intricate moulding and assembly of top-notch tyres in Pirelli’s factory in Milan, to the top gear moments on Macau’s Guia Circuit.
Founded in 1872, Pirelli is today one of the biggest tyre manufacturers in the world. The company marks its swift presence in over 350 two/four-wheel motor and motorcycle races worldwide annually, including being the global tyre partner of the Formula 1, Formula 2 and Formula 3 World Championships organized by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), Formula Regional European Championship and GT World Challenge.
Pirelli also participates in the most prestigious and legendary sport events in the Asia-Pacific region, including the Macau Grand Prix, organised by MGTO.
The exhibition runs until 2 March 2026. The museum is open from 10 am to 6 pm daily except Tuesday. For more information visit the museum’s official website.
