Autosport says Macau could host the 2019 FIA F3 season finale. But the Macau organizers want to keep the race for current F3 cars, because the new cars carry more momentum. Sophia Florsch's accident means Macau does not want the new F3 cars.
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.
