Motorsport Race Way Open Track Day

Nigeria’s first and only purpose-built motorsport racing facility is located along the Benin-Asaba express road in a peaceful town called Evbuobanosa, about 20 minutes’ drive from Benin City in Edo State.

MotorSport Raceway (MRE), Evbuobanosa (MRE) is a privately owned and maintained initiative aimed at creating a home for motorsports enthusiasts to develop their skills, have fun, and maybe make money while at it. It is presently the Nigerian "Mecca" for motorsports.

The racetrack itself is about 2.3 km long, with a total of 11 bends. Her bends are friendly for both cars and bikes but can still offer a surprise or two to the uninitiated or careless.

Since its launch, Motorsport Raceway, Evbuobanosa (MRE) has played host to popular racing events and competitions such as the Road X showcase race, Bikers Trophy (BT), E30 Racetrack Challenge, 9ja Bike Racing Championship, and Motorsport Music Festival.

On 27th October 2024, she held an open race day for lovers of all good things loud, fast, and shiny to have some fun. We were there and brought you some pictures and videos.

Understanding Your Exhaust: A/F Sensors vs. O2 Sensors

Do you know that you popular oxygen sensor is of two types? They are the "O2 Sensor" and "Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor" . While they look almost identical, they are definitely not the same. Installing the wrong one can lead to "check engine" lights, poor fuel economy, or even damage to your vehicle. Here is why these two sensors are the "brain" of your exhaust system. 1. The Standard O2 Sensor: The "Light Switch" The traditional Oxygen (O2) sensor, often called a narrowband sensor, is the old-school industry standard. It acts like a simple on/off switch. It tells the engine computer (ECU) if the exhaust is too rich (too much fuel) or too lean (too much air) (like 15:1 or 0:1) It however cannot tell the computer how much the mixture is off. It just constantly bounces back and forth between rich and lean signals. In other words, it's either a 1 or 0, no in-betweens. Location: Usually found downstream (after the catalytic converter) to mo...
