I think that Macau is a good circuit, with a fair few passing places for a street circuit. More than Oschersleben anyway. I tjhjink the loss of the championship would be bad for Macau... less competitors, less TV. At the same time, it would be a real loss to the WTCC. Every major championship has it's blue riband event, F1 in Monoco, the Indy 500, Rally of Finland, Le Mans... If the WTCC loses it's special event, it will become less interesting, and even less of a force in motorsport.
I think they both need each other, but the WTCC needs Macau more.
