Dr. Cosmas Maduka was happy to hear that we now have Nigerians who have the expertise to draw standard road maps for racing events; plan street racing which would meet world-class standard. He recalled that several years back, he and his team had to engage the services of expatriates which cost a lot of money.
He also narrated his stint with and flare for Motorsports in Nigeria which dates back to 2002 when he organised and took part in Argungu Motor Rally. “It was a memorable moment driving Cross-Country from the mountains to the vast expanse of land in the North” The Patron said.
After discussing past and future car racing events amongst many others, it was agreed that the current economic situation has had a negative effect on this capital intensive sport which started to regain momentum recently.
