Lagos (AFP) – Nigeria’s bustling metropolis of Lagos hosts a race in the UIM E1 World Championship, an all-electric powerboat racing series — the first time that such an event is held in Africa. The E1 Lagos Grand Prix — the penultimate round of the season — was held on Lagos’s lagoon, ahead of the season finale in Miami later this year. Africa is the fourth continent to host an E1 race during the series’ second season, as the championship has expanded from five to seven races.
