Matías Zagazeta continues to accelerate his goal of competing in the elite of world motorsport. The Peruvian driver will take a big leap this weekend when he gets into an FIA F3 to compete in the Macau Grand Prix.
The Peruvian regularly competes in the European Regional Formula, but thanks to his good performance on various dates in the Old Continent, he was presented with the opportunity to get into an F3 on the urban circuit in China.
“I am very happy to announce that I will compete in the 70th edition of the Macau Grand Prix for the FIA F3 WORLD CUP. It is a unique opportunity and I am very happy and proud to be the first Peruvian in history to be part of this historic street competition in Macau,” said the Peruvian sponsored by WIN.

Zagazeta had carried out three tests in FIA 3 with the Jenzer Motorsport team in Spain (Jerez and Barcelona) and Italy, on the traditional Imola circuit.
Matías will be one of the 29 drivers who will compete in the F3 Macau Grand Prix, the third most important category on the FIA calendar, behind F1 and F2.
“It will be a very difficult challenge, but it will serve me a lot as experience and I will learn as much as possible,” said the 22-year-old Peruvian, who comes to F3 thanks to the Jenzer Motorsport team and its sponsors WIN 100% Fiber Optic, Huawei and Sumtec. .
