Robert La Caze

Born in Paris and raised in Morocco, La Caze started his career in rallying across North Africa, also winning a national title in skiing.

In Europe, he further competed in the 1955 Mille Miglia, 1956 Tour de France Automobile and the 1957 24 Hours of Le Mans, the latter with Gordini.

Upon retiring from motor racing the following year, La Caze operated a garage and youth sports organisation in Marrakesh until his death in 2015, aged 98.

La Caze was born in Paris, but as the grandson of a French diplomat, he moved to Morocco at a young age and spent most of his life there.

[2] International motorsport returned to Morocco after the Second World War in the form of a sportscar race, the Agadir Grand Prix [fr].

He qualified fourth out of the F2 entries and steadily improved his pace throughout the race, making a late pass on André Guelfi to secure third in the F2 class and 14th overall.

[2][14][15] However, the race was marred by Stuart Lewis-Evans's accident which ultimately proved to be fatal, and the Moroccan Grand Prix would not return.

La Caze raced four times alongside Jean Kerguen, who had also been part of the Moroccan Grand Prix F2 field.
