“This year is going to be extremely different, we have ensured that the narrative of promoting everything Nigerian remains firm, we are taking it to the International sphere to promote our local talents as much as possible.”

“On the 13th of November, it is going to be different, history will be made in a new way, it’s going to be the first time racing in Abeokuta with one hundred percent Nigerians, it is also going to be different because we have a proudly Nigerian company that’s fully behind the pioneers of this event.”
