Some clubs are builtaround a clubhouse.Ours is builtaround the road.

Not every journey needs a destination.
Some begin with a machine, a road, and the people willing to follow it.

Ours is the mountain pass at first light, when the tarmac still holds the cold of the night. The desert straight that hums for an hour without a bend. The café where two crews compare pencil marks in a roadbook. The dust on a badge, the hands that know a machine by its sound. Automobile Club Sirocco is a Moroccan community built around automobiles, exploration and the culture of driving — and this is where it lives.

Born from Rallye Sirocco. Built for the road ahead.

01The Club

Built by enthusiasts.For enthusiasts.

A club is not a building. It is a promise kept between people who love the same thing.

Automobile Club Sirocco was created in Morocco by Mohamed Ettoubaji and Khalil Belfqih. It grew from the spirit surrounding Rallye Sirocco — the long days on the road, the crews who arrived as strangers and left as a family — and from a simple conviction: that automotive culture connects far more than cars.

We are here to push rallying in Morocco further, and to hold it to a higher, newer standard.

Drive

Automobiles are meant to be experienced, not kept behind glass.

Discover

The road is a way of understanding a country, one bend at a time.

III · 03

Belong

Great automotive experiences are better shared, and remembered longer.

02Events

Written on roads.

The Club exists to push rallying in Morocco further, and to hold it to a higher, newer standard. One rally is already on the calendar. The rest of the programme is being drawn, pass by pass.

Interlude — Morocco

Few countrieswere made forthe automobilelike Morocco.

From Atlantic roads to Atlas passes and the long horizons of the south, Morocco is more than our home. It is the terrain on which the Sirocco story is written — in switchbacks and dust, and in a golden hour that seems to arrive earlier here than anywhere else.
