In order to run new F3 cars Macau needs to make track changes and upgrade to FIA Grade 2. Macau does not want to make the changes. FIA and Macau will talk more.

I think Macau does not want to change because of historical reasons as well as real difficulty. The place is packed with buildings and if a corner needs to be widened or something they might have to take down a building or something on a similar scale. Also I agree I don't think cars faster than the current F3 cars should run at Macau, it will be too dangerous.

GT cars also shouldn't run at Macau but the organizers love them so they keep going back. Already this year we saw that Honda, Ferrari and Bentley have stayed away from the event.
We cannot deny that F3 and Macau have a shared history, as many people, whether he/she is a motorsport fan or not, can point out Macau is running F3 cars. So this cannot be ruled, and that's why the organizer leave a space to keep this possibility remain open. It is not a easy task to do, and we have to wait and see
