A significant reason fueling the expansion of the drones sector and of racing drones is the demand for lowering human involvement in driving in competitions, which might save expenses and driving time. With this factor, no safety structure needs to be designed or run. A major motivator for the drone/UAV industry as well as for racing drones is the fact that the pilot controls and operates the drones while holding the controller in his hand. This decreases the likelihood of accidents and the loss of human lives.
The market for Racing Drones is anticipated to expand significantly between 2018 and 2026.
