Heavy rains have postponed the Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix for only the second time in the race’s 36-year existence, according to a press release issued by the Macau Grand Prix Committee. The last time the race was postponed was in 1987 when a typhoon forced the entire event to wait until Monday.

The 36th Macau Motorcycle GP will now run a shortened race distance, 10 laps versus 15 of the 3.8-mile Guia street circuit, on Sunday.
