The 2005 Guia Race Of Macau was the final of the 2005 World Touring Car Championship season. It was held at the Circuito da Guia. Augusto Farfus won the first race for Alfa Romeo, the race being Farfus's first win in the series. The second race was a crash-strewn affair, won in the end by Duncan Huisman. Andy Priaulx won the inaugural FIA WTCC world championship after finishing 2nd in both races.

Guia Circuit race track

The Guia Circuit, or Circuito da Guia, is a street circuit located at the southeast region of the Macau Peninsula in Macau. It is the venue of the Macau Grand Prix and Guia Race of Macau. The circuit consists of long straights and tight corners, and features the characteristics of a typical street circuit - narrow, bumpy and limited overtaking opportunities. However, there are two special features that can rarely be found in other street circuits - variation in altitude and an ultra long main straight that allows top speed of 260 km/h (160 mph) on Formula Three cars. As a result, the circuit is recognised as one of the most challenging circuits in the world in terms of both driving and tuning, as cars have to maintain competitive speed to overcome hill-climbing, twisty corners and long straights in a single lap.

Augusto Farfus Brazilian racing driver

Augusto Farfus Jr. is a Brazilian professional racing driver, and BMW Motorsport works driver.

N.Technology is an Italian auto racing team, founded by Mauro Sipsz and Monica Bregoli.
