Race Comes to Morocco

by Carole Morris on June 22, 2007

Calais to Casablanca! Racers will come in beat-up old cars. Vehicles racing in this event cannot be worth more than 100 pounds. Morocco will be the final leg of this unique race. Drivers and crews are dressed in costumes such as Scooby Doo and the Tasmanian Devil. The race begins in Calais on Sunday. If all goes well, the five cars should arrive in Casablanca on Thursday evening. Their route takes them from France, through Andorra and Spain before ending in Morocco. This race has been organized by StreetSafari. While similar races have been run before in Europe, it is an African first.

The drivers intend to bring their cars to Morocco and return to Spain. The cars will be scrapped in Spain. Crew members will return home by way of more conventional methods.
