The 2017 FIA GT World Cup at Macau brought together the leading GT3 machinery of the era for a single prestige encounter on one of motorsport's most unforgiving venues. Among them was the #5 Lamborghini Huracán GT3 entered by FFF Racing by ACM, a Chinese GT team with strong ties to the Lamborghini factory programme, with Italian works driver Mirko Bortolotti at the wheel. Spark Model has documented the occasion in 1:43 resin.
The Lamborghini Huracán GT3 in Competition
Introduced in 2015 and developed by Lamborghini Squadra Corse in partnership with Reiter Engineering, the Huracán GT3 is built around the LP 610-4 road car platform. It carries a 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 race-detuned to GT3 regulations, paired with a full roll cage, FIA-specification safety equipment and a racing suspension package developed specifically for circuit use. From its debut season the car proved immediately competitive, accumulating championship wins across multiple global GT series before the updated EVO variant arrived in 2019.
Bortolotti, FFF Racing and the 64th Macau Grand Prix Weekend
The FIA GT World Cup ran on 19 November 2017 as part of the 64th Macau Grand Prix weekend, contested over the 6.12 km Guia street circuit — a permanent fixture built into the roads of the city. Mirko Bortolotti, one of Lamborghini's most prominent factory pilots and a regular in the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup that season, represented FFF Racing by ACM. The team's distinctive green, white and black livery made the #5 car one of the more visually striking entries in a field drawn from Europe and Asia.
The 1:43 Scale Model by Spark Model
Spark Model is a French specialist known for comprehensive coverage of GT and single-seater racing liveries in 1:43 and 1:18. This resin replica reproduces the #5 FFF Racing Huracán GT3 in Macau 2017 specification, including the team's green, white and black colour scheme and race number graphics. Spark's 1:43 resin process allows fine livery detail that diecast tooling at this scale rarely achieves, making it the format of choice for documenting one-off event appearances such as the FIA GT World Cup.
In the Display Cabinet
This model pairs naturally with other Spark Model entries from the 2017 FIA GT World Cup grid, as well as with any Lamborghini Huracán GT3 collection spanning the car's competitive years from 2015 to the EVO transition. Collectors focused on Asian GT racing or Chinese motorsport history will find the FFF Racing livery a key reference point. Equally, a Bortolotti-centred display covering his Blancpain GT and factory programme appearances gains a distinctive one-off event piece in Macau specification.
