was the early pacesetter in Q1, before Chevrolet teammate Alain Menu
crashed into the wall on the exit of Turn 14, bringing out the red flags. When the session was restarted, SR-Sport driver Gabriele Tarquini
moved to the top of the timesheets, before being demoted by Zengő Dension Team's Norbert Michelisz
. However, the Hungarian crashed at Turn 3 after setting his fastest lap, bringing out the red flag again, this time ending the session early. BMW Team RBM drivers Augusto Farfus
and Andy Priaulx
dropped out of the top ten just before the session was stopped.
Q2 was halted after five minutes due to oil on the track at Turn 2 left by Franz Engstler
after the Independent BMW driver had hit the wall. After the green flag, Tarquini set a quick time to move into P1. The session was stopped once again when Michel Nykjær crashed at Turn 10. The session did not restart, giving Tarquini pole position ahead of Robert Huff, Jordi Gené
, Tiago Monteiro
, Muller, Nykjær and Tom Coronel
. Fredy Barth

led the field through the first chicane. Fellow SEAT driver Michel Nykjær ran wide as he was battling for third position with the SEAT of Jordi Gené
, resulting in both drivers dropping down the field. The main beneficiary of this was Fredy Barth
who moved up from eighth to third in the opening lap. The Swiss driver made a move on second-placed Robert Huff on the second lap, nudging the Chevrolet driver into a slide, which he did well to control and keep his position. Tiago Monteiro
took advantage to take third from Barth. Further back, Andy Priaulx
passed Alain Menu
for eighth position and pole position for the second race.
The safety car was deployed halfway through the race after Andrei Romanov crashed his Liqui Moly Team Engstler BMW 320si at Turn 15, and Moroccon local Ismaïl Sbaï
appeared to spin his car on his own oil. The marhsals struggled to remove the stricken car of Romanov from the circuit and so the safety car remained out for the next ten minutes, until the end of the race, allowing Tarquini to lead Huff and Monteiro to victory. Barth, Tom Coronel
, Yvan Muller
, Norbert Michelisz
, Priaulx, Menu and Augusto Farfus
rounded out the top 10.
swerved to avoid Huff's stricken Chevrolet and hit Bamboo Engineering
teammate Harry Vaulkhard
and then Proteam Motorsport
driver Sergio Hernández
. Vaulkhard and Hernández joined Huff in retiring, while O'Young was able to retreat to the pits and rejoin the race after repairing the damage. The safety car was called into action and stayed out until lap seven of 13.
After the restart, Menu attempted to pass Farfus around the outside of Turn 4, but the pair tangled and both veered into the wall on the outside. Farfus limped back to retire in the pits, but the safety car was deployed again to remove the stranded Chevrolet of Menu and clear up the debris from the accident.
The safety car returned to the pits with just one lap of racing to go, with Priaulx fighting hard to keep Muller behind him, resulting in Priaulx brushing the wall at Turn 4. He held on though to win from Muller, Coronel, Monteiro, Barth and Tarquini. Local hero Mehdi Bennani
dropped from seventh to ninth on the final lap, finishing behind Nykjær and Gené. Michelisz recovered from his stall at the start to finish tenth.
