Drone racing as a sport is growing exponentially (predicted growth up from £300m in 2019 to £1.5bn by 2026) and it allows seamless movement between the real and the virtual worlds.
It certainly seems remote controlled racing has come a long way since my days playing Scalextric at home. Will it be as exciting a spectator sport as it is for the participants though?

"As a sport, drone racing has a blurry line between the digital and the real. It has an element of e-sports. You have pilots sitting there holding controllers, looking at screens. In some cases they're controlling real-life drones, and in some places creating virtual drones," Temkin says.
