“The Venetian Macao is very proud to sponsor Ma Qing hua,”said Gueldner. “China’s next sports hero, joining the ranks of athletes like China’s favourite boxer Zou Shi ming, who we’ve been honoured to support in his transition from amateur to professional fighter. For our company, it’s really important to help develop and promote Chinese athletes around the world, and we’re so glad to be able to extend that support to Ma.”
Earlier in the day, Ma paid a visit to Macao’s Grand Prix Museum, learning more about the history of the prestigious event ahead of his November Macau Grand Prix debut.
The 26-year-old Shanghai-born racer made history June 8 in Volokolamsk, Russia by becoming the first-ever Chinese-born driver to win an FIA World Championship race, when he won race two of the 2014 FIA WTCC Race of Russia.

“Acting as the management team of Ma Qing hua, we hope to help him showcase his talent, presenting to more Chinese audiences the charm of car racing,” said Li. “With the support of The Venetian Macao, we believe that Ma will continue to attain new heights on the racing track.”
