1995 Macau Grand Prix

The 1995 Macau Grand Prix Formula Three was the 42nd Macau Grand Prix race to be held on the streets of Macau on 19 November 1995. It was the twelfth edition for Formula Three cars. Ralf Schumacher of WTS Racing, brother of 1990 winner Michael Schumacher, won the 15-lap race, which was shortened because of a fourteen-car accident at San Francisco Bend turn on the second leg's first lap that was caused by Norberto Fontana running wide and hitting the wall beside the track, sending him back into the path of other cars. Ralf Schumacher was the third German to win the race in the past three editions after Jörg Müller won the 1993 iteration and Sascha Maassen won the 1994 race. Jarno Trulli finished in second for KMS and TOM'S driver Pedro de la Rosa was third.[1]
