Marrakech is once again the venue for an exciting motor racing event as it hosts round 1 of this year's Auto GP World Series. Formerly the Euro Series 3000, or Euro Formula 3000 event, the race takes place on the Marrakech Street Circuit (Circuit Moulay el Hassan) over the weekend of 12/13 April 2014.
This is the fifth tour in the series first run in 1999. Previously, only cars with the Lola F 3000 chassis were raced but in 2009 A1 Grand Prix cars were admitted, taking over from Lola completely in 2010 when the race's name was changed to Auto GP World Series. There are eight rounds in all, each held in a different, mainly European location.
