The 2024 race was the 71st running of the Macau Grand Prix, the first for Formula Regional cars and the inaugural FIA FR World Cup.

[2][3] The event was made a non-championship round of the FIA Formula 3 Championship for the first time in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic caused heavy disruptions, particularly concerning entry of foreign drivers into Macau.

[9] Ahead of the event, the organising committee announced measures to minimise the impact of Typhoon Toraji, including potential schedule adjustments if necessary.

MP Motorsport's Oliver Goethe set the fastest lap at 2:41.270s, finishing over two seconds ahead of Prema Racing's Freddie Slater and Alex Dunne.

The remainder of the top ten included Saintéloc Racing's Théophile Naël, the third Prema of Dino Beganovic, and R-ace GP's Enzo Deligny.

The difficult conditions led to several crashes, including incidents involving Beganovic and TOM'S Formula's Rikuto Kobayashi, which triggered the first stoppage.

Other incidents included a crash by Wharton and TGM Grand Prix's Sota Ogawa retiring with two and a half minutes left, ending the session early.

The session faced further interruptions when Evans GP's Kai Daryanani and Tiago Rodrigues stalled at the Lisboa runoff area, prompting consecutive red flags.

The session did not restart, confirming Goethe, Taponen, and Rinicella as the top three, with Al Dhaheri, Slater, and PHM's Matteo De Palo following.

León recorded the best time of the session at 2:35.772s, narrowly ahead of Naël by just over a tenth, while Kanato Le of ART Grand Prix secured third place.

Ugochukwu's lap placed him eighth, just ahead of Deligny, with Alexander Abkhazava of Saintéloc Racing completing the top ten.

Goethe was the only driver to complete a second lap, which did not improve his time, before a significant three-car collision exiting Police corner triggered a red flag.

Goethe then improved, with Ugochukwu moving into second before Jin Nakamura of TOM'S Formula crashed at R Bend after Wharton hit him.

Three further red flags followed for incidents involving Kobayashi, ART teammates Wharton and Giltaire, and Bowling, ending the session with three minutes remaining with some drivers able to set laps, but no changes to the top of the order.

Boya stalled during the formation lap and, after attempting to regain his original grid position by overtaking multiple competitors, was forced to start from the pit lane.

Slater overtook Deligny at the beginning of lap six, and Webster misjudged his braking at Lisboa, making contact with Naël and sending him into the runoff area.

Webster was penalized for hitting Naël, so De Palo, Wharton, Dhaheri, Giltaire and Beganovic rounded out the top ten.

Yellow flags waved when Ugochukwu entered the final sector, allowing him to win the Macau Grand Prix without further challenge from behind.
