Eric Vigouroux Racing has taken 1st place overall in the 24H of Morocco.

Eric Vigouroux and Alexandre Winocq dominated the 6 hours of Ouarzazate, the final stage of the 24H of Morocco. The win, making it four wins from four starts, confirmed their position as overall champions of the 24Hours Off Road of Morocco.

From the start, the race was theirs to win or lose after triumphing in all three of the previous stages. After a magnificent stage victory, Eric explained, “We didn’t have any problems, we only stopped for the 5 minute mandatory breaks and we did not have any punctures”. He thanked his team, especially chief mechanic Bernard Perault adding, “During the 22 hours of the race we actually ran for longer than the Rally of Tunisia, at a real rally-raid pace.”

Eric concluded’ “I would like to thank our two partners, Chevrolet and TOYO TIRES for their help and faithfulness.” TOYO TIRES 37 x 13.5 R17 Open Country M/TR covered the entire distance without a single puncture or problem.

Looking to the future, Eric declared, “This result is a very auspicious pointer towards our future (perhaps the Dakar 2011) particularly as we are on the brink of preparing and constructing a brand new prototype for next season. My hope, ultimately, is to build a powerful team of two vehicles, to take new podium positions.”
