The competition on the Rallye International du Maroc knows no bounds. One of the latest entrants for the marathon event comes from as far afield as Australia: the home of many classic targa events.Paul Darrouzet, from Sydney in Australia, will drive an ex-Stig Blomqvist V8 Ford Capri Perana on the 9600-kilometre event, having built up plenty of experience with the car both in his native Australia and on other historic events all over the world. In particular, he has contested the East African Safari with the car – so he has some idea of what to expect from the challenge of African roads.
“I’m really looking forward to it,” said Darrouzet. “I’ve heard so much about this event and I hope it’s going to be well-suited to the car. The Capri is great fun to drive, and I hope that people enjoy watching it just as much as I enjoy driving it. I know that Maroc is not going to be an easy event, but if it was easy then I guess that everyone would do it!”
