The 2016 FIA GT World Cup was a Grand Touring (GT) sports car race held on the streets of the autonomous territory of Macau on 20 November 2016. It was the event's second annual edition, and the ninth time GT3-specified machinery had participated in Macau. Unlike the 2015 race, it was not run as a non-championship GT Asia Series race. The Automobile General Association Macau-China appointed motorsports organiser Stéphane Ratel Organisation (SRO) to help form a grid. The race itself consisted of two races: a twelve-lap qualification race that determined the starting grid for the four-lap main race.
Edoardo Mortara (pictured in 2014) set a new GT3 lap record of the Guia Circuit and took the pole position for the qualifying race.
Laurens Vanthoor (pictured in 2009) was declared the winner of the race after his car went airborne and landed on its roof during the fifth lap.
Laurens Vanthoor is a Belgian professional racing driver currently racing for Porsche Motorsport as a factory driver in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. He currently resides in Waiblingen outside of Stuttgart.
