Lagos, Nigeria is set to join the list of global cities known for one Motor Rally or the other.

Red Bull is partnering with Puma and Castrol for this first edition of the Red Bull Danfo Rally.
The historic event is billed to take place on 24 February.
It is expected the high-octane event will transform the city’s iconic yellow Danfo buses, the lifeblood of Lagos transportation, into roaring chariots in a thrilling obstacle race.
