This is the third driver to do so since the start of the season, Ma Qing Hua winning after starting from pole. The driver of the Lynk & Co n°55 was never worried after an excellent start. He pivots at the first corner in front of the Argentinian Guerrieri and the Serbian giant Borkovic, both on Honda Civic. In the peloton it's a little more agitated with Julien Piguet (Team Clairet Sport) in particular causing trouble. The slowdown that followed caused several victims, the most visible of which was Norbert Michelisz who found himself relieved of his front bumper. The most unpleasant thing is that Ehrlacher and Azcona will suffer. The two men will be forced to return to the pits with problems at the front right for the Frenchman and a left rear wheel affected for the Iberian.

The victory went to Ma ahead of Guerrieri who made a solitary race in front of the freelancer Borkovic. The consequence of this second meeting of the season is the evolution within the general classification. If Michelisz retains the lead, he is now followed by Urrutia who is ahead of Ehrlacher by 4 units, tied on points with Girolami. For the next stage of the TCR World Tour, the competitors will set off to conquer a new circuit, heading to the United States and the superb Mid-Ohio circuit. We can also hope that the grid will be a little more extensive than here in Marrakech. The next round is scheduled for June 7 to 8.
