Chris Ballard wants to build the Formula 1 equivalent for “live” giant drone racing.
The founder of Australian startup Freedom Class Giant Drone Racing mentioned that motorsport nearly a dozen times during an interview earlier this week, stating that drone racing is “born into the digital age.”
For Freedom Class, we’re not talking traditional drone sizes. We’re talking about giant drone racing, with the aerial vehicles measuring 1.5 meters or five times that of normal-sized drones, according to Ballard.
Near the end of 2015, Ballard and his small team found an alternative to regular drone racing.
