Needs a small pilot on board for dramatic crashes
juanchits
looks a little hard to follow and enjoy...

Drone *controllers.*

Source?
MissingImage
to all of you haters out there. The connection is that drones sling around and maneuver exactly like podracers, not planes, cars, etc...

I noticed a grand tour logo at the end there. Maybe season 2 will have the three racing against each other at some point.

"Now this is pod"--- nope. Using star wars to generate interest in something that's pretty cool by itself just feels stupid to me. Sorry

Now this is POD RACING!
CommentsWithGandalf
Can I be the one who shoots at them?
CoeusDarksoul
Now THAT'S a sport! *Gets Airsoft rifles out of closet* I don't wanna ruin their hobby... just muss it up a little :D

I don't understand how some people can think so fast and accurate. Or am I just getting slower?
FutureHylian
*lowers newspaper, rolls my eyes, and sighs* now this is podracing
Jetduh
Did they fly into the "Grand Tour" tent at one point, or am I just seeing shit?
noxiousSaucyBeast
Don't the Saudi's do something like this with jet packs?
whitewampa
I watched this while out for dinner, it was cool. I agree with the comments that disagree or shame you though for trying to point whore.
LamePotato
They should put guns on them and have them battle each other?
Grunwald
Well I don't know does it really really bring us ANY closer to pod racing??
Turtleproof
Where's the extreme closeup of Anakin saying, "NEAT" when I need it.
thepicklebucket
All I know is at some point in my life I'm going to be chased by drones, and I'm not looking forward to it. But I kinda am.

Ebhosford
This is one step closer to star fox
HiImChrisWilsonFromGrindingGearGames
so its basicly a video game ?
PandaModeler
16 started and only 6 remain; as the losers were summarily executed.
slabaReactionSmuggler
Why is pod racing even a goal
0fficerDoofy
The way I took slaba's comment is that pod racing is like a poor man's sport. Two giant engines that pull an unpowered pod. If you were 1/2
0fficerDoofy
educated, technologically advanced, and/or wealthy you'd build an x-wing or better. Pod racing is redneck, drones are high-tech

Personally, I'd like to hear the sound of a RadonUlzer startup in person, so there's that.
delecti
The podracing scene and plot may not be your favorite, but podracing the sport would be fucking awesome IRL.
Purtypreencess7
if podracing had a chance we'd still have group B

We need more "Yippiee"

Now THIS is drone racing!
Leinkugel
Not into racing in general but I could get behind drone racing.
italkwithassent
military will probably try to hire this guys.
GooglingGoogleGoogledGooglyGoogles
Maybe the army will hire good gamers someday to control tanks, ships and aircrafts

DRL is sooooooo much better

Can i get tickets cause im a fan

I mean, plane racing is a thing. . . that's been around since like the 1910's . . . sooooo . . .
twentyfourcharacterslong
And soooo we've shrunken the planes down to pocket size, strap remote VR headshots on and pilot them through mind bending maneuvers for fun.
erischilde
This is closer to affordable.
HeyLookAGinger
Check out DRL. There are bigger courses here in America i think they have been going since 2015. There is a local group in chicago where》
HeyLookAGinger
I live, i wish i could race but having a fps system and money for constant repairs and upgrading or fiddling gets really pricey.
HeyLookAGinger
I am decent with my little prebuilt racer that i take out and play with practice tricks break something and then wait til i can get the 》
HeyLookAGinger
Spare part
WaitWhatNope
But I do not have money to buy an airplane, fuel, or even a license. I can do this though.
CptFloridaMan
I think he meant that as old plane races was basically pod racing back then?
ltsDizzyD
Well it's future of pod racing you can't afford
ThisMahSwamp
Similarly cheaper to do RC plane racing...which is a similar investment as drone racing, scale and equip depending of course.
Icouri
Also, let deadly to the pilot
Icouri
Less deadly*
YoSoyMilk
How is this closer to pod racing than, say, rally cars?
nanyatenyaa
Moving in three dimensions?
NotQuiteThere
Everyone's saying "nothing", but I disagree. We can make these much more vicious! People are less likely to die if a drone crashes and burns
YouWillNotLikeThis
Because of all the "Yippie"
mimarcos
I think this comparison comes from a YouTube video of racing quads flying through trees. Which closer resembles speeder bikes, but whatever.
AngryRaven
Hey! You take your anti-clickbait logic and get outta my comment thread you filthy animal!
ltsDizzyD
Or plane races? Or those crazy speed boat races
Purtypreencess7
considering we took a good step back after group B got shut down..
opkraut
It isn't. They just say that to get more clicks because Star Wars is popular
Nize426
It's honestly a few steps backwards from pod racing.
bloodtypeinfinity
Rally cars can't fly
FuttBuckit
Le mans cars can
DidNoOneNoticeThis
Okay, just hop on in your drone we'll see which one can take us down this racetrack faster.
bloodtypeinfinity
K *equips vr goggles*
DidNoOneNoticeThis
Not sure why you'd be wearing be goggles while sitting on your drone.
bloodtypeinfinity
You don't ride a drone, you fly it from the ground. It's safer, less energy consuming than what amounts to massive flying formula 1 cars 1/2
bloodtypeinfinity
And it looks like a mini pod race from star wars. That's why it's closer than rally cars. 2/2
