Ladies and gentlemen, start your drones! $20m for racing league

The Drone Racing League has secured its future after a major round of financing saw the entertainment industry get on board.

What are drones for, if not racing against each other in a Wipeout-type ode to the Playstation’s earlier years?

That’s the attitude of the Drone Racing League (DRL), fresh from a successful Series B funding round, ahead of its second season.

The backers are primarily in the entertainment industry, making this one of the more commercial, customer-facing investments yet.
