The Moroccan Grand Prix (
Arabic: سباق الجائزة الكبرى المغربي) 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
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
Vanwall. Hawthorn would finish second place to clinch the crown, despite his rival Moss winning the race. Vanwall would also clinch the inaugural Constructors Championship, but it was overshadowed by a crash involving Stuart Lewis-Evans
, who died from his injuries six days later.
