    Imagine: you do extensive research, build a premium racing rig, train for months even years, set up your pids and rates for racing, and then finish the race after Drew's 1lbs 3d printed HD carrying brick
    Great job, Drew and Alex

    LOL - Kiss, kiss. Haha.
    That was a great perspective. Normally, I turn racing videos off after the first lap, because I have seen the course already, and it gets repetitive. But, having a pilot to root for, and seeing their struggles along the way made it more interesting. Great job guys.

      Yeah, that is something drl has to improve. There is to much bullsh*t moderator talking in DRL. This here with Vanover was great, makes your self as a viewer more focused on the race.

      Dang, I need to stop lookng at comments before I get to the end. You could have started with SPOILER! 😉 Congrats Alex, even if I haven't seen you win yet. Did that Alex' video seem really bad, or is that just how it is at these big races? I mean, it's perfectly flyable, but it seems like a lot of colored bands and noise. Or is this a case of the DVR being noticeably worse than what you see in the goggles?I have HD3s, and my DVR looks pretty good to me , especially compared to what I saw here, but it's mostly outdoors too, and I imagine all the multipathing and stray RF don't help.

      @@ledchickenfpv7164 Oh sorry man. I never gave it any thought about spoiling the outcome of the video.
      Yes I do agree with you on the DVR footage. It basically sucks. If this whole video was just DVR footage there is no way I could watch it all. I'm not really a big fan of this type of racing and how they remember when to make all those turns is pretty confusing to me.

      When racing in indoor environment, even when using Clearview system for the pilots, the video feed can be horrible.

    Thanks in advance if you even see this.
