I guess the last circuit was the same as the one used in 1957? Any info on a circuit used for an F3 in the 60s? Also one in Agadir used for sports car racing?
Moroccan racing may be of interest in view of plans to run in Marakkech.

Very interesting thread, very interesting forum - a French TNF? Sadly, my French is almost non-existant, but the pictures alone are mouth-watering...Originally posted by Boniver

You can still drive round the old 1958 circuit at least you could eleven years ago. Along with Andrew Fletcher we had the idea of holding a historic racing weekend in Casablanca in 1998 to celebrate fortyyears since Mike Hawthorn won Britain's first world championship there. We looked at the original circuit but it would have been impossible to bring it up to modern safety standards and I never realised just how fast and how long it was. We did come up with an alternative circuit actually in Casablanca itself but nothing came of the whole project as we could not get anyone from the Ministry of Tourism downwards to make a commitment to the event.
