Forget race car driving — professional drone racing is here and it's more intense than you can even imagine. The Drone Racing League is a professional drone racing circuit with a series of global events culminating in a world championship game. What's it like to fly a drone competitively? At drones going 80 mph, it's pretty fast. The competition is also pretty fierce. The pilots come from a great variety of backgrounds from professional video gamers to former race car and motorcycle drivers.
