Loading the player… Will drone racing become the next Formula 1 or Nascar? The World Drone Prix is coming up in Dubai this March, and drone event companies Aerial Grand Prix and the International Drone Racing Association hosted a qualifying race for the international spectacle at The Burbank Studios on Saturday. Recreational drones can be purchased via retailers such as Amazon ( AMZN ), Wal-Mart ( WMT ) and Best Buy ( BBY ). And GoPro’s ( GPRO ) Karma drone is still under wraps. But these high-speed races — with obstacles of different shapes and sizes — are not for the casual drone flyer filming footage at the park. They’re bringing unmanned aerial vehicles to a whole new level. The races feature quadcopters mounted with point-of-view cameras, and one pilot calls the sport “like a video game on steroids.” Scalper1 News
