Last week I watched some preliminary drone races on ESPN. It was mentioned that the finals would be in Detroit but the when and where seem very deliberately hidden. According to the ESPN site it may have been held on Nov. 20. while this one indicates Jan. 15. This site says it will be held "a closed Cadillac metal-stamping plant in Detroit".

This leads me to suspect they are deliberately hiding it, perhaps they don't have proper permits for occupancy and don't want to attract and audience other than TV and online. The following video appears from the description to have been shot in the Detroit location. Any ideas?


From over 30 FPV drone pilots, 12 finalists have emerged to compete in the 2016 DRL World Championship. Watch the FPV feeds of some of the world's top pilots as they fly through the DRL Championship course in Detroit.
