Morocco's 9th classic rally kicked off sunday

Morocco's 9th Classic Rally kicked off Sunday from Casablanca, with the participation of some 60 teams.

The pilots, driving old luxury cars, dating back to the 1950's and 1970's, including famed brands such as Ford, Jaguar, Alpha Romeo, Aston Martin, Porsche-Carrera, and Lancia will cover an overall itinerary of 2100 km, from Casablanca to Marrakesh via Fez, Erfoud, Ouarzazate, Tata and Agadir.

The rally is not a speed contest and focuses rather on regular driving on asphalt roads. The rally is made up of six legs, the longuest of which (600 km) will link Ouarzazate, Tata and Agadir, and the shortest (154 km) will cover Marrakesh-Oukaimden-Marrakesh.
