Unlike other races, such as the Masters of Formula 3, the 2007 Macau Grand Prix was not part of any F3 championship, but was open to entries from all F3 championships. The race itself consisted of two races: a ten-lap qualifying race that determined the starting grid for the fifteen-lap main race. The 2007 race was the 54th Macau Grand Prix and the 25th for F3 cars. TOM'S driver Oliver Jarvis won the Grand Prix after winning the event's Qualification Race the afternoon before. Jarvis started from pole position and led for most of the race, including every lap of the main race, to take his first and only victory in Macau. Koudai Tsukakoshi of Manor Motorsport was second, with another Japanese driver and Jarvis' TOM'S teammate Kazuya Oshima took third. Background and entry list The Macau Grand Prix is a Formula Three (F3) 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 Macau Grand Prix was held for the 54th time in 2007, and the 25th time under F3 rules.

Tsukakoshi survived the impact and rejoined the race but Grosjean suffered a puncture, causing Senna to swerve in avoidance. Grosjean drove slowly to pit lane for a replacement wheel but fell a lap behind Asmer. The crash moved Bird up to fifth place, and Oshima to sixth, but Guerrieri's race was ended early when he also crashed. Cheong and Lei each went into the pit lane for debris removal and a replacement front wing. After three laps, the safety car was withdrawn and racing resumed, with Asmer leading. Jarvis stayed close by, hoping to overtake at Lisboa corner on the next lap. Van Der Zande attempted to pass Kennard as he crossed the start/finish line but he was unable to pass and crashed into the wall at the Lisboa turn, whereas Kennard resumed without trouble. Ho then made a pit stop and retired soon after. Jarvis slipstreamed on the main straight on the fifth lap and passed him on the outside for the lead at Lisboa corner. Two laps later, Senna passed Hülkenberg and started gaining on Buurmann. Hülkenberg then tried to overtook Senna to reclaim the position but lost control of his car and glanced the barrier at the Mandarin Bend corner. Both he and Senna retired. Because debris was scattered across the tarmac surface, localised waved yellow flags neutralised racing in that section of the circuit. None of these issues bothered Jarvis, who had established a small but healthy lead over Asmer, who had in turn maintained a comfortable lead over Oshima. Jakes and Buurman were fourth and fifth. Mustonen pushed hard as the penultimate lap began, but he struck the outside tyre barrier at Fisherman's Bend, removing the rear wheels. His car had become stuck in the middle of the track. Mustonen's accident ended the qualifying race early and the race result was counted back two laps. This gave Jarvis the victory and pole position for the Grand Prix itself. He was joined on the front row by Asmer. Oshima completed the podium in third position, ahead of the British duo of Jakes and Bird. The final finishers were Buurman, Jelley, Streit, Tsukakoshi, Breen, Kennard, Hartley, Mailleux, Mustonen, Van Dam, Grubmüller, Ávila, Izawa, Merszei, Senna, Hülkenberg and Grosjean.
