A league of competitive drone pilots is trying to attract sports fans with nothing to watch during the pandemic

The Drone Racing League is using technology to be one of the few professional sports leagues still active during the coronavirus pandemic.

Sports fans looking to fill the void left by the coronavirus have turned to some unusual competitions the past three months, from robot fighting to marble racing.Founded in 2015, the Drone Racing League features the world's best pilots flying first-person drones around courses in stadiums and landmarks around the world.

The sport blurs the lines between the virtual world and reality by using simulator technology in annual tournaments in which amateur pilots compete for DRL contracts. And just like a pit crew, the league's tech ops team is there to recover and repair any drone that crashes during a race so the pilots can get back to racing.
