MGP trains local rescue team

The Macau Grand Prix Committee conducted local rescue team training jointly with the FIA on October 3 and 4. The program, which included a wide variety of training both theoretical and practical, was designed to ensure that all rescue team members are trained to the highest internationally-recognized standards. Since 2004, the Macau Grand Prix has been promoting the localization of its rescue teams and, since 2007, all team personnel have been Macau residents. Since then, each year the Committee and the FIA have together organized courses to provide professional training for each local rescue team member.
