With the popularity of drones growing rapidly over the last 12 months there’s now even a contest. Drone pilots can test their skills in flying their machines around an obstacle course at speeds of 60 mph (100 kph). BBC Click’s Marc Cieslak finds out more.

WORLD RECORD WORLDS FASTEST MICRO DRONE 126- Eachine Lizard95 review
Eachine Lizard 95 review. This micro FPV drone is EASILY the fastest micro FPV …
there is also drone combat..
I do wish fucking idiots like Marc Cieslak would do something as simple as
looking up the word ‘drone’ before putting together such a report. The
racing quads there are NOT drones – they have no GPS and are not capable of
fully autonomous flight.
Holy shit. This is the future of racing. Imagine a drone racing inside the
Grand Canyon. Imagine viewers buying PPV so they could gain exclusive POV
access to each drone.
Awasome! Where i can buy the drone with lenses ?
60mph omg I want it… GOGGLES. VIRTUAL REALITY FLYING. DREAM COME TRUE. IM
DROOLING. HOLY SHIT.
IM DROOLING OH MY DAYS
Is this at the Apollo 11 field?
I simply MUST have one of these !!!
They’re not drones, they are UAV’s or quadcopters, drones belong to armies
that kill people.
As someone who is just getting into this hobby over the past few months I
can say that FPV flying isn’t quite as easy as it looks. There’s a weird
disconnect that’s not exactly like playing a flight sim. Start off with
cheap toy-grade quadcopters and line of sight flying. You’re also gonna
break a lot of propellers and solder connections along the way, but it
really is exhilarating – like being a fast bird that sounds like a flying
weed wacker….
Nerd virgin guys
3:45 i like that guys accent
With the FPV glasses wouldn’t it be much better if these quad copters were
fitted with dual cameras to give a proper 3d perspective as well as better
depth and and elevation perspective?
anyone fly in North Dakota?? I need someone to race with
nice competition! when will be the next race?
Are there no altitude indicators to know if the drone is close to the
ground?
brilliant.
One important thing is not told in this video, it must be mentioned, for
all who plan to start with this great hobby:
All video from quadcopters (or drones) here is made with high definition
cameras, but it is not quality which you see in googles!
This video was filmed to SD card and later retrieved, not sent to googles
to see immediately.
In addition to HD camera (gopro, mobius..) quadcopter has small analog
video camera connected to transmitter, which send analog video signal to
receiver in googles (fat shark googles in this case).
Quality of that signal is comparable to VHS or analog security cameras, not
even close to hd resolution.
Also, when You look inside googles, it is not very wide picture, but
comparable to sitting in mid of back rows of cinema.
There are “drones” which can transmit live HD signal ( dji phantom 3), but
that type of transmittion has some lag, and it is not fast enough for
racing.
I want to start drone racing. I have had a bit of experience with drones, I
have a small $50 drone at home that I use inside.Which drone should I get
to start racing?, Should I get FPV goggles? if so which FPV goggles should
I get? thankyou
Rly they fly a Race with a Inspire :D
This looks awesome, It is too bad that i will never be able to afford the
tech, And i love flying in any shape it comes. I hope this will pick up to
be a major sport in a few years, Will be my new favorite sport then to
follow.
Finally, millions of hours playing F-ZERO X will be productive. I am in.
There’s far less romanticism in drone racing than there is in motorsports
due to the fact there is no danger to the racer. Perhaps future generations
will see motorsports in the same way we see the gladiator games of the
Roman Empire.
would be cool if you could shoot the other drones out of the air somehow
too. ?
BBC, now you are watched from the sky.
Amazing.. Thanks for posting
I am very surprised they drone racers have not put C flex forks on the
front so when they smack concrete or an I-Beam they are not completely
destroyed..
They can fly 80 mph
Great video, thumbs up. Cheers from Sint Maarten
Lol there’s a normal drone!
WTF?! I didn’t knew Kim hyun joong was into drone racing, awesome!
I would like to create a course in jamaica were we have a good deal of farm land. Good idea or no?
0.33 Ethan Klein?
Man this is so awesome ! I only just bought my first drone yesterday and can say that to fly these things takes great skill and a hell of a lot of practise !!
All these guys in this Comp are masters in my eyes !
I hope to one day fly as well as them soon.
Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
Wow I would like a game of Virtual Reality and playing with music tecno trance 🙂
They never show what it actually looks like. They show the HD video from the gopros on the drones, but not the low quality jittery video that you actually see. Thing is, I want to know how good the quality actually gets with the best fatshark goggles and antennas etc, but it’s so hard to find that sort of footage.
id love to see one of those flag girls get pinned
come to dubai there re alot of money on drone events
For anyone just getting into this hobby and wondering where to purchase racing drones – and their spares – Banggood offer a fantastic sellection on their website:
Very Highly good digital technology; The amazing and renewable use of advance technology

drone racing could be better if the loops to go through we’re actually high up in the air somehow, then it would be like a computer game.
This will be a new sport!

No one is stopping women participating. In a few years there will be a hue and cry about “not enough representation of women in the sport” blah blah blah. Men do what they enjoy, women do what THEY enjoy (looking in the mirror and painting their faces). Stop forcing things.
This will be a new sport!
