Drone captured buggy race
I'm sure it's a repost, but I stumbled on this huge buggy race video excellently captured by a drone, and wanted to share with others as it was new to
me..........
Even as a repost, man is this inspiring.
these guys are so good passing each other through the whole pack(s) of buggies.
wow

I just love watching racing footage for the beautiful upwind turns. It is so disorienting to watch from a spectator view. It makes it hard to tell
sometimes which way the wind is blowing. I get confused myself unless I am sitting in the buggy doing the turn. I think that is why I like it so
much.

Really nice.
/me goes back to watch it again.
I agree, this is much much easier to understand from a spectator perspective.

Very cool video.
Had a drone recording me last weekend. Pilot must have been on the other side of the building so I couldn't even see who was controlling it. They
got really close to my kite at times. I wish I would have met them to see the video. Hopefully I will catch them next time.
