The usually calm city of Akure and the sleepy town of Ilara Mokin were awoken this weekend as Work and Play Events held its second
edition of its rally event this time tagged Ondo Auto Rally 2017 and Motoring
Nigeria was there to cover every bit of the successful event.
The event started on Friday 10th November at
Elizade University where some of the racers thrilled spectators with drift
performances. Saturday 11th November was race day. Racing started with
the off-road race at Ilara-Mokin after which the racers proceeded to Akure to
race in the road category. Worth of note is that this time, the race started
with drivers in the grid position and all racers raced together rather than in
a time attack format. There was also fierce bike race for the local bike riders
of Akure.
