The 2024 Kumho FIA TCR World Tour is set to resume this weekend with the Race of Morocco, taking place at the Circuit Moulay El Hassan in Marrakech. This will be the first touring car event held at the circuit since 2019, and it will feature full-time World Tour drivers along with a few special guests, with this event being the first standalone race of the season.
Norbert Michelisz currently leads the points standings after a strong performance at Vallelunga, where he secured pole position and victory in Race 1 driving his BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse Elantra. His teammate, Mikel Azcona, sits closely behind in the standings after finishing fourth in both races. The GOAT Racing Honda pair of Marco Butti and Esteban Guerrieri are currently in third and fourth place, tied on points after the brand-new Honda-equipped team also made a strong start to the season.
Lynk & Co Cyan Racing is looking to improve their performance after a mixed start to the season, with Yann Ehrlacher and Santiago Urrutia achieving the best results for the team so far with a pair of second-place finishes. The circuit in Marrakech holds special significance for the team as it is where the Lynk & Co 03 TCR made its debut in 2019, with Thed Björk claiming a victory for the manufacturer.
