Professional drone racing, if you're not aware, sees pilots compete in four "level" events that they hope will earn them enough points to qualify for the World Championship. Each racer is given a selection of custom-designed drones, which are crafted by DRL to ensure races focus on skill and not construction smarts, which beam back a first-person live feed to a VR-style headset. Courses are designed in three dimensions, requiring pilots to navigate tight turns, steep climbs and avoid large obstacles at speeds of up to 90 miles per hour.

When the series reaches London next year, eight pilots will battle to become the "World's Greatest Drone Pilot" at the winner-takes-all event. If you can't make it, Sky has confirmed it will continue to broadcast the remainder of the 2016 series and will also show the crowning of a new champion at the London race on its new Sky Sports Mix channel.
