However, last year's winner will defend his title, Erno Kostamo, this year. The runner-up last year, David Datzer will also return and perhaps strike back after a second-place finish last year. 

Things are shaping up to be exciting for the Macau GP this year. Given the shaky restart it had a while back due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we're likely in for its most exciting weekend in recent years as it is back in full force.
