Work and Play, BMW Club partner for Autofest

Work and Play, and BMW Club, two of the biggest motorsport groups in Nigeria, have sealed a partnership ahead of this year’s Autofest scheduled for December 19.

The collaboration is aimed to thrill fans at the Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos, the venue of this year’s event, with N1 million at stake for the drift and drag champion.

Adeoye Ojuoko, president of Work and Play, said the partnership resulted from the effort to help develop the motorsports industry in the country.

“2020 has been a trying year for sports generally and for a growing sport like ours, we believe that this partnership is the key for us and BMW fits into the profile and object of our group,” Ojuoko said.

Mercedes, Lexus, Tiger, Toyota, Audi BMWs, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Maseratis, Kawasakis, Ducatis and other automobiles are expected to be on display at the event.

Among the organisations supporting the annual event include BetKing, Fearless Energy Drink, Ace of Spades, Grandcru, Beat 99.9 FM, Coscharis Motors, JB Autos, SMT Volvo, Toyota and Elizade.

The one-day drive-in auto show would feature musical concerts, car and bike stunts, refreshments, virtual reality games and other exciting performances.

The organisers also said top entertainers like DJ Jimmy Jatt, DJ Tee, DJ Jennyswitch and DJ Kraizee would thrill fans with their beautiful offerings.
