Unlike other races, such as the Masters of Formula 3, the 2013 Macau Grand Prix was not a part of any Formula Three championship, but was open to entries from all Formula Three championships. The race itself was made up of two races: a ten-lap qualifying race that decided the starting grid for the fifteen-lap main race. The 2013 race was the 60th running of the Macau Grand Prix and the 31st for Formula Three cars. The Grand Prix was won by Theodore Racing by Prema driver Alex Lynn from pole position, having won the event's Qualification Race the previous afternoon. Lynn led every lap of the main race to take victory and became the seventh driver to win the race for Theodore Racing. Second place went to the race's defending champion António Félix da Costa, competing for Carlin, while the podium was completed by Fortec Motorsport driver Pipo Derani. Entry list and background The Macau Grand Prix is a Formula Three race considered to be a stepping stone to higher motor racing categories such as Formula One and has been termed the territory's most prestigious international sporting event.https://www.autoindustriya.com/race-reports/the-macau-grand-prix.html The Macau Grand Prix – A look back through time Carino JP 7 December 2007 AutoIndustriya.com https://web.archive.org/web/20171116065247/https://www.autoindustriya.com/race-reports/the-macau-grand-prix.html 16 November 2017 15 November 2017http://en.macaotourism.gov.mo/events/majorevent_detail.php?id=7 Macau Grand Prix Macao Government Tourism Office https://web.archive.org/web/20180211155754/http://en.macaotourism.gov.mo/events/majorevent_detail.php?id=7 11 February 2018 live 28 October 2018 The 2013 Macau Grand Prix was the 60th running of the event and the 31st time the race was held to Formula Three regulations.

The events meant Bryant-Meisner, Gelael and Auer retired from the race. I can't really put it into words – I've dreamed of winning this race ever since I came here for the first time. Since I finished third last year all I've wanted to do is win it, and I can't believe I've done it. I think I had quite a lot of understeer in the qualification race and Marciello was a lot quicker than me in the last corner in that race. I thought I'd have to battle my way back through after being passed at the start or a restart. The gap between me and Antonio kept coming down and I just thought 'hang on, hang on,' and I did it in the end.

Marciello attempted to force his way through Derani but the latter resisted his overtaking attempts. Sainz moved in front of both Coletti and Buller but the two drivers retook their lost positions. Marciello passed Derani at Lisboa corner for third place. On lap seven, Coletti and Buller collided, causing the latter's retirement but the former restarted racing after loing positions by spinning onto the escape road.

Sun spun off at Fisherman's Bend, prompting the brief waving of localised yellow flags. Maricello pushed but lost control of his car at the R Bend and collided against a barrier. His retirement relieved pressure off Félix da Costa who used the situation to close up to Lynn. Sims slowed at about lap ten due to an engine temperature sensor problem which he corrected by short shifting and pulling out of Derani's slipstream. Félix da Costa gained on Lynn to be just over a second behind with four laps to go. He reduced the gap to 1.3 seconds under yellow flag conditions for Wolf's stranded car at Lisboa corner, but could not get close to affect a pass on Lynn who maintained the lead for the rest of the race to become the seventh Macau Grand Prix winner for Theodore Racing.http://www.saffronwaldenreporter.co.uk/sport/dunmow-s-lynn-wins-macau-30-years-after-f1-great-ayrton-senna-1-3010549 Dunmow's Lynn wins Macau 30 years after F1 great Ayrton Senna Tonkin Sam 17 November 2013 Saffron Walden Reporter 4 October 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20171005134243/http://www.saffronwaldenreporter.co.uk/sport/dunmow-s-lynn-wins-macau-30-years-after-f1-great-ayrton-senna-1-3010549 5 October 2017 live The 2012 winner Félix da Costa finished second, 1.173 seconds in arrears, while Derani completed the podium in third.
