Yes, it's a street circuit much like Monaco GP in Monte Carlo and the S'pore GP held this year... The Macau GP has been going on for ages aledi.. Very challenging with no shortage of spectacular crashes into the side barrier...

Bro, good view and nice pics taken. Seem like professional photographer...

Definitely not pro as some of the shots were out of focus, but those were the only ones I have as the session was red flagged. Besides, if pro no need to sit behind fencing and I will be shooting from there :
