Description
The 2016 Marrakesh ePrix (formally the 2016 FIA Formula E Marrakesh ePrix) was a Formula E motor race held on 12 November 2016 at the Circuit Moulay El Hassan in Marrakesh, Morocco in front of a crowd of 7,000 people. It was the second round of the 2016–17 Formula E season and the first time the series had visited the African continent. The 33-lap race was won by Renault e.Dams driver Sébastien Buemi who started from the seventh position. Sam Bird finished second for the DS Virgin Racing team and Mahindra Racing driver Felix Rosenqvist came in third.

Rosenqvist won the pole position and maintained his start line advantage on the first lap. He pulled away from the rest of the field and kept the lead until the mandatory round of pit stops when Buemi took over the first position for one lap until he made his stop. Rosenqvist regained the lead but was required to conserve his car's electrical energy usage because of making a pit stop one lap earlier than the rest of the field, allowing Buemi to narrow the time deficit between the two drivers. Buemi passed Rosenqvist for the lead on the 27th lap and held it for the remainder of the race to clinch the win. There were two lead changes among two different drivers during the course of the race.

It was Buemi's second consecutive victory of the season and his eighth in the series. The result meant Buemi increased his lead in the Drivers' Championship to be 22 points ahead of nearest rival Lucas di Grassi. Buemi's teammate Nicolas Prost moved from fourth to third, while Rosenqvist's strong finish enabled him to move into fourth place, and Bird rounded out the top five. Renault e.Dams expanded their Teams' Championship advantage over ABT Schaeffler Audi Sport and Mahindra Racing by 19 points with ten races left in the season.
