The Gibraltar Tourist Board’s "Gibraltar Stand" in the Paddock area of the Marrakech circuit became one of the main attractions of last weekend’s event. The image of Miss World 2009, Kaiane Aldorino, had been featured on posters promoting the event throughout Morocco and Gibraltar’s stand drew large crowds of people wanting to be photographed with her and to have her autograph. The final WTCC race was a particular highlight for the promotion of Gibraltar as Kaiane was the race starter.
