Race of Mediner

Race of Mediner

Online on 5 May 2010  |  About the city

CHRONIC Race of Morocco is passed at full speed through the streets of Marrakech. To follow this event of size, M!M sent one of his Mediners a small idea on this second edition. A race full of twists and turns, in the sense of the word...

Heat engines, a Mediner dark race of Morocco. Finally dark, so to speak... it first took me slip me through the audience, like me looking for strong emotions. After many twists, I finally arrived.

The roar of cars more and more mutes me at every step I do. My small square 50 Dhs allows me of me sit, until, that of happiness! I take my position, not on the line of departure but in the stands, until the cars arrive on the scene.

Today it is the second round, the biggest names in the WTCC is are all given triple head to Marrakech, as Andy Priaulx on BMW, champion of the world in this category.

That is, a rainbow auto advance on the line. Pressure mounts in me at the same rate as their valves. The host is déchaine on mic exciting the crowd to the best that it can. In pole position, the champion, in his white BMW.

Attention in the first place! Lights flashing, flags wave, and it is party! GO GO GO!

Champion file as an arrow on the runway while the second in his Seat seems to have stalled causing the panic of the runners behind him. Cars are seeking a passage, they literally slaloment between them, shoving, until the slippage followed the collision of a Chevrolet sounds across the whole city. And there is panic!

After the Chevrolet is the turn of a BMW and a Seat... An accident that left the crowd in shock. No one could expect it. Surely better that these crashes occur at a few metres from the start rather than high speed line. The consequences could have been dramatic. But the drivers of these 3 wrecks are not the only victims. Indeed, a race which lasted 13 towers, 11 are are played behind the safety car. Rugged carcasses remained on the circuit for more than 20 minutes have ended up. Surely due to lack of experience of security officers, the interest of the race was marred, if these craches incredible. In the end of this race of funnyland, on the finish line there without too many changes, the Prime that remains Prime and Yvan Muller taking the 2 ° place, Tom Coronel 3 °. Bravo champions... Thank you social security...

Go, that's enough...

It must still find my car, even if I would like to able to return with one of these rockets, towards the Moon, the head in the stars...
