Our involvement at the heart of a world-class racing event that energises the population and celebrates the power of sport typifies all that POAD endeavours to encourage in the community. We believe that sporting success and the creation of infinite outdoor advertising possibilities require the same qualities ā focus, dedication and passion.

Weāll be cheering on Craft-Bamboo Racing throughout their season, which culminates in the world famous Macau Grand Prix GT Cup ā a host city in which POAD is devoted to develop and grow its presenceā.
