Weirdest Sports You’ve Probably Never Heard Of - Part 5 - DRONE RACING!
DRONE RACING!
The sport is exactly what it sounds like: small, nimble aircraft race through obstacle courses at speeds of 50 to 80 miles per hour. The Drone Racing League (DRL) is a professional drone racing league based in the United States.
Pilots race first-person view drones through three-dimensional courses at speeds above 80 MPH.Founded in 2015 and launched publicly in January 2016, the league’s inaugural season featured five races across the United States and was broadcast on ESPN, Sky Sports and ProSiebenSat.1 in Germany. DRL’s 2017 broadcast season began in June.
The news publication Quartz described DRL as feeling "like pod-racing from Stars Wars" with "hopes [of becoming] the Formula 1, NASCAR and MotoGP of drone racing." Sources
@banjo Do you like drones?
@originalworks
Nah. Do you?
@banjo Yes. Why not?
I don't know.. You said you were scared. I wasn't sure you could be trusted with helping me eat the bunnies.
@banjo okey, what ever. Do you now like drones?
I like to use my muscles, especially my brain!
@banjo Do you like chess then?
Besides mine, not really. Can I ask you a kind of personal question?
