How They Built a Drone That Beat an F1 Car | Ralph Hogenbirk
Show Notes

This podcast is a conversation with Ralph Hogenbirk, Dutch Drone Gods, where we talk about how Red Bull recently raced a Formula 1 car against a drone - and it wasn’t just in a straight line, it was around the Silverstone circuit - one of the fastest tracks, with the fastest corners on F1’s calendar.

It’s a circuit where Formula 1 cars are very much at home, a track where they’re 42 seconds a lap faster than a McLaren Senna. 

But, in this race, the drone was WAY faster.
