Lagos made history this weekend as the E1 Series, the first all-electric powerboat racing championship, held its African debut on the city’s iconic lagoon. This championship, featuring high-speed electric powerboats, saw Team Brazil claim its first win of the season. The event showcased innovative “RaceBird” boats, which use hydrofoil technology to glide above the water, minimizing drag and emissions. Backed by global stars like Didier Drogba, who was instrumental in bringing the race to the continent, the series aims to expand its presence in Africa. Local officials hope the event will generate significant tourism revenue and establish Nigeria as a premier host for world-class events. This thrilling competition not only provided an exciting spectacle but also positioned Lagos as a key player in the growing world of sustainable sports.
