Talking on the sidelines of the event, al-Attiyah said, “The Ministry of Youth & Sport has been supporting motorsport in Morocco very well and is pushing it on to a global map. I have experienced this personally during my presence at this event, having seen senior officials attending the event. This gives a good impression about the future of motorsport in Morocco. The awareness about motorsport is very much there among the youth. It is a good indicator that the kingdom is on the right track. We as international officials support this approach, which also highlights MENA’s position as an effective region under FIA.”
