昨日，我和女小編GK來到澳門，參加了一年一度的盛大賽事——澳門格蘭披治大賽車。這場賽車盛會不僅吸引了來自世界各地的賽車迷，還聚集了大量的模型車愛好者。對於我們來說，這趟旅程不僅是欣賞賽車比拼的激情，還是一個深入探訪模型車市場的好機會，看看是否能挖掘到一些限量版或稀有的收藏品。

當我們抵達場外，首先映入眼簾的便是碼頭對面的模型車攤位，這裡彷彿是模型車迷的天堂。來自各大品牌的模型車琳瑯滿目，Tarmac Works、Spark Models、Pop Race、KILO、青島、Evisu，以及大賽官方精品店，這些品牌的模型車展示了各種經典與現代的賽車模型，每一款車都精心製作，極具收藏價值。對於模型車迷來說，這些攤位無疑是一次極佳的購物體驗，特別是限量版的模型車更是令人大開眼界。

我們繼續往水塘入口方向走去，這裡位於海立方對面，還有更多值得一探的模型車攤位。沿途的Pop Race、拓意、Spark Models、寶馬、Yokohama和Mugen等品牌，無一不是模型車界的明星。每個攤位都展示了不同風格的車款，從經典的寶馬賽車到充滿個性的改裝車，這些模型車的精緻程度令人驚嘆。對於真正的模型車收藏家來說，這裡的一切都值得慢慢欣賞，細細品味。

在欣賞完這些精美的模型車後，我們也開始感到有些疲憊和饑餓。幸運的是，碼頭附近有一些熟悉的連鎖餐廳可以讓我們快速補充能量，例如麥當勞和Starbucks。如果你像我們一樣喜歡更加本地化的飲食體驗，不妨再走遠一點，來到海立方附近。這裡有更多的茶餐廳，供應著從港式奶茶到經典燒臘飯的各式美味，讓人可以在短暫休息的同時，享受澳門的地道風味。這些茶餐廳不僅價格親民，餐點選擇也非常豐富，特別適合逛累了的我們。

至於交通方面，如果累了想要回到賽車場或是酒店，建議可以搭乘免費的「發財車」。不過，附近沒有直接前往氹仔的巴士，最方便的方式是先搭乘前往永利澳門的巴士，然後在那裡轉車去永利皇宮。如果你不想折騰，也可以選擇乘坐的士，這是最直接快捷的方式，特別是在賽事期間，交通會稍顯擁擠的情況下，的士的靈活性會更高。

此外，澳門的外賣服務也非常便捷，如果你懶得外出覓食，直接使用mFood或澳覓這些外賣平台就能輕鬆訂購美食，享受一頓不錯的餐點。

總結這次的澳門格蘭披治大賽車之旅，除了享受到賽車的速度與激情外，模型車攤位的驚喜發現和美食探索也讓這次旅程更加充實。對於模型車迷來說，這裡不僅是賽車的盛會，也是收藏品的天堂。如果你有機會參加這個盛事，建議你一定要留些時間，逛逛場外的模型車攤位，或者品嚐一下澳門的美食，這將使你的體驗更加豐富多彩。

A Trip to the Macau Grand Prix: A Paradise for Model Car Collectors and a Foodie’s Delight

Last weekend, I, along with our lovely editor GK, made our way to Macau to attend the annual spectacle that is the Macau Grand Prix. This event not only draws motorsport fans from around the world but also attracts a large crowd of model car enthusiasts. For us, this trip wasn’t just about soaking in the thrill of the races, but also about diving into the world of model cars to see if we could uncover any limited-edition or rare collectibles.

As soon as we arrived outside the venue, our eyes were immediately drawn to the model car stalls set up across from the pier. It felt like heaven for model car enthusiasts. The stalls were packed with cars from major brands like Tarmac Works, Spark Models, Pop Race, KILO, Qingdao, Evisu, and even the official Grand Prix merchandise store. These brands offered an impressive array of both classic and modern racing car models, each meticulously crafted and valuable to collectors. For any model car fan, this was an absolute shopping paradise, especially with the limited-edition models that would leave anyone wide-eyed with excitement.

We continued our stroll towards the entrance near the reservoir, just across from The Sands. Here, we found even more must-see model car stalls, featuring brands like Pop Race, Xcartoys, Spark Models, BMW, Yokohama, and Mugen. Each stall showcased a variety of cars, spanning from classic BMW race cars to quirky, customized vehicles. The craftsmanship on display was simply stunning. For serious collectors, these stalls offered a treasure trove of models to browse and admire at leisure.

After indulging in the beauty of these miniature cars, we started feeling a bit tired and hungry. Thankfully, there were some familiar fast-food options near the pier—McDonald’s and Starbucks—perfect for a quick energy boost. But if you’re like us and prefer something with more local flavor, you can walk a bit further towards The Sands, where you’ll find a variety of cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style cafes). These spots serve everything from classic milk tea to delicious barbecued meats, giving you the chance to relax and savor some authentic Macau cuisine. These cafes are not only affordable but also offer a great selection of dishes, making them a perfect stop for weary race-goers.

When it comes to getting around, if you’re feeling worn out and need to make your way back to the race or your hotel, hop on one of the free shuttle buses, known as “Fortune Cars.” However, there aren’t any shuttles that go directly to Taipa. The easiest way is to take a bus to Wynn Macau, then transfer to another one heading to Wynn Palace. Alternatively, if you prefer a hassle-free trip, just grab a taxi—it’s the quickest and most convenient option, especially during the busy race days when traffic can get a bit congested.

If you’re not in the mood to venture out for food, Macau’s delivery services are super convenient. You can order from mFood or Aomi, two popular delivery platforms, and have a tasty meal delivered right to your door.

In conclusion, this trip to the Macau Grand Prix was not just about the exhilarating speed and excitement of the races. The unexpected finds at the model car stalls and the culinary adventures made the experience even richer. For model car aficionados, this event isn’t just a motorsport showcase—it’s a haven for collectors. If you ever get the chance to attend, make sure to set aside some time to explore the stalls outside the venue or enjoy some of Macau’s delicious food. It will truly make your trip more vibrant and memorable.
