Tangier is emerging as a contender to host a Formula 1 Grand Prix, marking a significant moment for motorsport in Morocco according to a report by Atalayar. If approved, it would be the first time Morocco hosts a Formula 1 race since 1958, when the country held its inaugural event in Casablanca.
Hosting a Formula 1 Grand Prix will benefit Morocco economically. Formula 1 is one of the most watched sports globally, with an estimated 1.2 billion viewers and over a quarter of a million attendees per race. The event will attract big investments in tourism and will help Morocco’s event-hosting reputation.
According to the same source the increasing popularity of Middle Eastern circuits in Formula 1 is supporting Morocco’s candidacy for inclusion on the schedule.
With the support of large sponsors such as Saudi Aramco, Middle Eastern nations have effectively assimilated into the Formula 1 scene, opening the way for Morocco to do the same. This regional leverage might be extremely important in supporting Tangier’s campaign.
The demanding safety regulations and packed race calendar limit Morocco’s chances of qualifying for Formula 1. Safety issues have prevented other African locations, such as Kyalami in South Africa, from being approved.
If Tangier is a success, it might take place at night, but there are still scheduling issues with well-known races like Monaco and Abu Dhabi, as well as worries about severe weather.
