Moroccan Grand Prix


The Moroccan Grand Prix was a Grand Prix first organised in 1925 in Casablanca, Morocco with the official denomination of "Casablanca Grand Prix".

History

In 1930, the race was held at the new Anfa Circuit. It claimed the life of driver Count Bruno d'Harcourt during a practice run. All winners, in touring cars, were either French or Monegasque.
There was no race in 1933 nor between 1935 and 1953. When it returned in 1954, it was held on a circuit at the city of Agadir for sports cars, and French dominance was interrupted by an Italian driver, Giuseppe Farina.
A new layout at Ain-Diab near Casablanca was made ready for the 1957 Formula One race which, although not counting toward the World Championship, attracted a world-class field.
The following year the race was officially sanctioned and was held on October 19, 1958. The race was marred by the death of Stuart Lewis-Evans who died in a London hospital of burn injuries six days after crashing heavily at the dusty circuit. His Vanwall engine seized and sent him lurching into barriers at high speed, igniting his car in flames. This was the last Grand Prix organised in Morocco.
