The Tangier Automobile Grand Prix will take place this year on a new circuit, namely the road bypassing the Grand Stade de Tanger. Before this edition, the races took place on the circuit near the Corniche. "Exceptionally this year, we will perform on a new circuit adjacent to the Grand Stade de Tanger, whereas traditionally it is on the Corniche circuit that we perform, but for safety reasons and because of the presence of many speed bumps, we opted for the new circuit," Ahmed Fadli, president of the Tanger Racing Club, indicated to "Le Matin". And he continued: "The new 2,200-metre circuit consists of a variety of turns. This means that it will not be the performance of the car and the speed that will count, but the mastery of driving." No fewer than five races are on the programme for this Grand Prix, with Saturday being devoted to trials for the M1, M2, and M3 categories or even free practice for the Clio Cup or legend cars, as well as the drift show (exhibition races). On Sunday, from 3 p.m., the official events in different categories will be contested. The day will be closed by the ceremony of awarding cups, prizes, and medals to the deserving.
In a statement to "Le Matin", the president of the TRC, Ahmed Fadli, indicated that everything is being done to make this automobile sporting event a success. Tangier will be, for a weekend, the automobile capital of Morocco. Start your engines!
