Drone Racing
summary
Live footage of a multi-quad FPV race with lap-by-lap commentary, frequent midair collisions and one clear winner; racers admit it takes about a year to learn accurate flying and report total damage in the hobby running into five million euros, so crashes are routine. The course features ignored flags and aggressive corner-cutting, a live “drone chicken” head-to-head stunt appears, and the demo proves the rigs work under stress but break often — frantic, noisy, mechanical.
