The Chevrolet drivers repeated the 1-2-3 finish from the earlier race in Morocco, however this time they were classified in reverse order from race one with Muller finishing ahead of Rob Huff and Alain Menu.
Despite starting from seventh, nine and tenth on the grid, the Cruze cars had no problems in recovering to fill the podium positions once again.
Their superiority on the straight lines of Marrakech was overwhelming and the Muller-Huff-Menu express had no problems in overtaking the competitors one by one, lap after lap.
The rest of the field had to be contented to fight for positions from fourth onwards. And eventually Tom Coronel emerged as the best of the rest one more time, beating Yokohama Trophy winner Stefano D’Aste by inches.
Like in the first race, one of the Ford cars scored points. This time thanks to James Nash, who even managed to take the lead for a few laps before being swallowed up by the Chevrolet men.
And things for Team Aon could have even better without a technical problem that stopped Tom Chilton on his way to finish in the points again.
