The last year has seen drone racing go mainstream and with the release of our carbon kit just around the corner, we are taking a look into the sports rise in popularity. So when did it begin and why is it taking off so spectacularly?

Since its inception in 2014, drone racing has gone viral. Here at Extreme Fliers, we have recognised this growing popularity and have created our very own Carbon Fibre racing platform.

The Extreme Fliers Team was at Worlds Fair Nano in San Francisco.
