Drone racing

Drone racing is a motorsport in which participants operate radio-controlled aircraft equipped with onboard digital video cameras. The operator views a compact flat panel display or, more often, wearing a head-mounted display that shows a live-streamed image feed from the aircraft. As with full-size air racing, the goal of the sport is to complete an obstacle course as quickly as possible.

Drone racing began in 2011 in Germany with a number of amateur drone controllers getting together for semi-organized races in Karlsruhe.
