Sunday the 29th of November, 2015 was takeoff day and we arranged for the hard ride back to base. I have gone to some motorsport occasions in Nigeria and this stands as the most vital. I say credit to the coordinators for endeavoring to acquaint real motorsport with Nigeria, despite the fact that there is still awesome opportunity to get better. This was not kidding dashing!

Similarly as with all races, there is the probability of accidents. In the current year's occasion, there were around seven accidents. A large portion of the accidents happening at a renowned rapid right turn bend. Thankfully, there were no genuine wounds and the racers are back home and well and as of now making arrangements for one years from now occasion which comes up again on the 26th of November, 2016. Passing by the victories accomplished at the current year's occasion, it will be right to say that motorsport, superbike hustling, has taken off in Nigeria.
