Edoardo Mortara of Audi Sport Asia Team Absolute took second place, and Augusto Farfus of ROWE Racing finished third.

[1][2] It was held at the 6.120 km (3.803 mi) Guia Circuit in the streets of the Chinese special administrative region of Macau on 19 November after three days of practice and qualifying,[3][4] and was co-organised by the SRO Motorsports Group at the FIA's request.

[11] Drivers had to have competed in an FIA-recognised GT3 championship race within the preceding two seasons or have considerable experience in Grand Touring (GT) cars to enter the event.

Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze-rated drivers were permitted to compete, but the FIA GT World Cup Committee might prohibit a competitor's entry if it deemed them to be too inexperienced.

[9][10] The FIA and the Macau Grand Prix Organizing Committee revealed the entry list on 25 October, which included five GT3 manufacturers (Audi, BMW, Ferrari, Mercedes-AMG and Porsche) and 21 drivers.

[N 1] All five preceding FIA GT World Cup winners, Maro Engel, Augusto Farfus, Raffaele Marciello, Edoardo Mortara and Laurens Vanthoor, entered the race.

[16] Marchy Lee temporarily stopped his Mercedes-Benz on the circuit at the start of practice before Daniel Serra's Ferrari 296 GT3 miscalculated the Melco hairpin on an out-lap, causing a car blockage that marshals cleared.

[24][25] Marciello, in his final race as a Mercedes factory driver before moving to BMW in 2024,[26][27] reset his own GT3 track record of 2:14.542 on his last quick lap on an old set of tyres to secure his third successive FIA GT World Cup pole position.

[34] Estre triggered the session's only stoppage when he misjudged his braking point and collided with the outside tyre barrier at Lisboa turn 12 minutes in, causing minor damage to his Porsche's left-front corner.

[3][12][36] Marciello made a quick start to lead the race into the first corner, while Mortara and Engel battled for second,[37][38] with the latter overtaking on the outside through the high-speed Mandarin Oriental Bend turn.

[37] On lap eight,[42] Fong lost control of his car's rear in the Mandarin Oriental Bend turn due to a loss of some downforce from being affected by turbulence from a vehicle ahead of him.

[40][48] His car's left-rear wheel made minor contact with the inside wall leaving the turn,[37][39][48] breaking the rear-left suspension's tie rod and sending him across the track.

[38] After one lap behind the safety car, the remaining 17 drivers resumed racing, with Marciello keeping the lead and holding off Engel into Lisboa corner.

Farfus, Van Der Linde, Serra, Vanthoor, Haase, Juncadella, Bamber, Picariello, Estre, Cheng, Chen, Gounon, Ye and Lee were the last of the finishers.

[55] Engel began suffering from a broken paddle shifter on lap four but the problem exacerbated after examining the cables and connections between the dashboard and the steering wheel.

[54] On lap eight,[53][58] Estre collided with the side of Bamber's Porsche at Lisboa turn, damaging his rear diffuser with subsequent contact while contending for tenth.

[59][60] Soon after, Chen made a driver error and crashed into the tyre barrier at the same point, leading race control to deploy the safety car for a single lap because the track was partially blocked.

[53] Attention focused on Mortara and Van Der Linde in the battle for second,[58] until the latter made an unscheduled pit stop on lap 11 to replace a left-rear tyre puncture that was caused by on-track debris.

[58][65] There were no more overtakes,[64] as Marciello led every lap of the race weekend to clinch his second consecutive FIA GT World Cup victory following his first in 2019 and became the event's first repeat winner since it was first held in 2015.
