Not sure that drone flight was legal. Flies at eye level inches from spectators.

Pretty tough environment. Do they make waterproof drones? It's amazing how precise control they have of that drone to be able to not crash into all those obstacles at speed.

Kind of thinking that too

I do not think that they do so its a matter of keeping things dried off. Also the pilot "Nurk" is pretty renowned for his flying abilities. But it sounds like they had multiple spotters who helped keep things clear. I guess one of the advantages of flying FPV.

That event looks really fun. Good drone footage, I'd be afraid of my control to get it that close.

I agree on the proximity not something I would try.

I know those drones only get between 3 and 7 minutes of flight time they must have made a lot of runs around that track. Even though I would not try this I think the final product looks pretty cool.
