Drone Racing Arrives

Calling all drone aficionados, drone racing has arrived.

In an epic new trailer, the DRL (Drone Racing League) have exploded onto the sports scene with their high-powered flying machines. Racers will be wearing VR headsets to be the eyes of their drones, whilst racing around tracks at blistering speeds of up to 120mph. Each drone is dazzlingly-lit in a different colour so that the audience can tell them apart as the racers try to guide them through numerous obstacles on the three-dimensional tracks, passing through glittering squares of LEDs as checkpoints.

It looks fast, furious, futuristic and dangerous. Check out the trailer here, and look out for the live coverage coming to Eurosport.
