Eurosport - Fri, 21 Nov 17:33:00 2008
The layout of the racetrack in Marrakech that will host the third meeting of the 2009 World Touring Car Championship on May 3 has been unveiled by promoters MGP.
The non-permanent circuit was designed by D3 Motorsport Development, MGP"s partner in Morocco, and one of the world"s leading motorsport development companies.
D3 is responsible for the construction of four of the most competitive and successful racetracks in motorsports, such as Surfers' Paradise in Australia.
The 4.54km circuit has already been subjected to several tests and inspections, pending final FIA approval.
Its construction, along Boulevard Mohammed VI and Route de l'Ourika, is already under way under the supervision of Groupe MENARA.
An exotic backdrop between the red city's legendary wall and snow-capped Atlas Mountains in the distance, will quickly make it one of the most attractive circuits in the world.
"The circuit layout will allow for fast and challenging driving, giving fans and TV audiences an exciting performance," commented MGP president Ali Horma.

Gosh a boring track.
The support race will be for V8 camels, with separate classes for one hump and two.
Do we really need another street circuit?
