Team Nigeria gears up for motorsports debut.

Nigeria Racing Eagle will compete at major motor racing events over the next few months. It has also joined forces with Tiger Racing to set up a development center to train young mechanics and engineers in Nigeria.

The team says it will proudly "fly the flag of Africa," using only drivers from the continent. The Africa Village is a London Olympics exhibition site designed to highlight the continent's cultural, artistic and sport assets.
The team is also putting together an academy to develop the talents of young Nigerian drivers.

London-based entrepreneur Ribi Adeshokan has entered Nigeria into the lavish and highly-competitive world of car racing and has ambitious plans to drive African motorsport and build a multi-million dollar racing industry on the continent.

Called Nigeria Racing Eagle (NRE), the team says it hopes to compete at major motor racing events over the next few months, including the FIA GT3 series and sports car endurance races.

More sports to cheer for. GO NAIJA!
