Lagos is set to witness the first Danfo Rally that will have legendary yellow bus drivers paired with celebrities as conductors in a heart-racing challenge against time and obstacles to reach the finish line.
The event, which is billed to hold on February 24, 2024 at the Imperial City, Orange Island, is expected to transform the city’s iconic yellow danfo buses, the lifeblood of Lagos transportation, into roaring chariots in a thrilling obstacle race.
The race organised by Red Bull, in partnership with Puma and Castrol, will see 10 teams competing over three different rounds to conquer obstacles with the iconic danfo buses driven by the city’s most daring drivers and favourite celebrities.
The organisers said the event will witness the legendary danfo drivers, known for their skill and ingenuity, as they navigate the course with their coolness under pressure.
They added that the participating teams would be expected to manoeuvre their danfo buses through challenging obstacles, showcasing their driving prowess and teamwork.
The drivers, the organisers said, would race through specified routes, facing everything from random ticket points to pothole-filled roads to reach the destination in record time.
They assured the one-day race will be an unforgettable experience for die-hard fans of the danfo culture and thrill-seekers.
