Drone racing is a futuristic, high speed sport where quadcopter drones fly the most insane three dimensional courses ever imagined. Pilots control the drones via remote controls, wearing FPV (first person view) goggles to steer from the drone's point of view. The drones race at more than 80 mph and can fly inches off the ground to several hundred feet in the air, depending on the course.
