The 2016 Guia Race of Macau was the eleventh and final round of the 2016 TCR International Series season as well as the fifth and final round of the 2016 TCR Asia Series season. It took place on 20 November at the Guia Circuit.
Stefano Comini won the first race, driving a Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR and Tiago Monteiro gained the second one, driving a Honda Civic TCR.
Success Ballast Due to the results obtained in the previous round, James Nash received +30 kg, Roberto Colciago +20 kg and Kevin Gleason +10 kg. Nevertheless, Colciago and Gleason did not take part at this event, so they did not take the ballast.
In addition, the Balance of Performance was reviewed for this round: all TCR cars were given a 20 kg weight break, bringing them back to their base weights. This was applied in an attempt to balance them with the CTCC cars entered for the event.
