And we don't yet how G&T get to HK, they may take a helicopter here. And It will be Turbojet for the other racers, which is a hydrofoil not a ferry....

I emailed the Macau Tourist Borad to be absolutely sure that we were not missing a public way for G&T to get directly to the airport, and this is their reply:

The helicopter just flies from Macau to the Hong Kong Shun Tak Centre.  You may choose to take the helicopter or by ferry from Macau to Hong Kong and then by airport express to the Hong Kong airport.  Please visit the following link for your information:

So having ruled that out, I think the Boingo's match to the Casino helicopter tells us that the helicopter was in fact the way that G&T managed to get to the airport in a timely way.

Did the teams PitStop at the Casino? How did they manage this? A lucky contact? A fan? It will be so much fun to see.  :jumpy:

This is why I love this forum. Sure, it's a little short on snark, but your pursuit of clues unfurls like an episode of CSI/NCIS/Numbers and all those other detective TV series. :ascared

Peach, technically there are differences between hydoroils and Tubo-Jets. However, sometimes ferry builders incorporate parts of both. Such as in Hong Kong/Macau, where the "turbo-jets" going from Macau to Hong Kong airport look like this:

Hong Kong Area Turbo-Jet fleet

To me, that looks a lot like a hydrofoil even though it technically isn't.
