Racing quads
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/08/the-new-underground-sport-of-first-person-drone-racing/

Known as FPV (first-person view) drone racing, or sometimes FPV quadcopter
racing, the sport involves building and modifying quadcopters for speed and
manoeuvrability, adding a virtual reality-style headset with a live video feed
from the drone, and then finding safe and legal places to fly. Racers compete in
heats or time trials, speeding around courses at anything up to 60mph
(100km/h)and having a load of fun in the process. This sport, which seems to
appeal to aspiring pilots, makers, and computer game fans alike, has all the
adrenaline of flight, while also providing enough crashes, smashes, and
collisions to keep even the most ardent sports fans happy.
