__FORCETOC__

The Moroccan Grand Prix was a Grand Prix motor racing event begun in 1925 in Casablanca, Morocco: the official denomination was Casablanca Grand Prix.

In 1930, the race was held at the new Anfa Racecourse (official denomination Anfa Grand Prix) and claimed the life of driver Count Bruno d'Harcourt while on a practice run. All winners, in touring cars were either French or Monegasque.

There was no race in 1933, nor between 1935-1953. When it returned in 1954, it was held on a circuit at the city of Agadir for sports cars, and the French dominance was interrupted by an Italian driver, Giuseppe Farina.

A new layout at Ain-Diab near Casablanca was made ready for the 1957 Formula One race which, although not counting for the World Championship, attracted a world-class field.

The following year the race was officially sanctioned and was held on October 19, 1958. Sadly, the race was marred by the tragic death of Stuart Lewis-Evans (second classified in 1957 race) who died in a London hospital of burn injuries six days after crashing heavily at the dusty circuit. His Vanwall engine seized (possibly caused by the dust) and sent him lurching into barriers at high speed, igniting his car in flames. This was the last Grand Prix organized in Morocco.
