salem1996:is not a must to use the roads a race circuit are built purposely for that purpose, the time frame and how realistic they are is more important |

I'm so interested in this... Sponsors, here I am. You won't regret it. With just a week training, practicing and rehearsing, I bet, I will drag, drift, speed and flight with a car. |

Dpharisee:Even if Abuja were to host the grand prix, a road course (term for race track for an event like that) has to be designed and built from scratch. Not the smooth roads of Abuja that you're talking about. And truly, Abuja have sweet roads that makes journeying fun. |

As someone who has watched a lot of F1 races in person I can categorically tell you that no Nigerian city has the capacity to host an F1 race . We don’t have a circuit so it will have to be a street race . Public roads will need to be modified to meet FIA standards, including widening sections, creating tight corners, and ensuring long straights plus ofcourse resurfacing the roads .Then we will need at least 30 thousand hotel rooms for the duration of the race .Airport capacity will need to be expanded to accommodate flights . Hospitals and emergency services will need to be upgraded . Most importantly will be the Garage support which is totally non existent in Nigeria. |
