Drones - the future of racing?
Talk of Roborace becoming a feature on the motorsport calendar is something that causes concern amongst many a petrolhead. I for one am all for pushing the boundaries of technology, but you need look no further than last weekend's Baku Grand Prix to see why taking the human element out racing defeats its very nature. No robot will ever take it upon itself to go for a gap that isn't really there,or get a little too hot under the collar when things don't go its way. Unless it's programmed too of course, and then what's the point? But for those of us who don't consider ourselves Luddites, yet fear that automated racing will diminish the sport, there could be an answer. Drones.
