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.
