Ashby Sport Focus On: Delta Hawks

Whilst the pilots are flying down the straights just inches from the ground, the sport's popularity is soaring. The British Drone Racing Association (BDRA) is the body that represents their interests. The BDRA is an important part of the sport as it provides a template for all clubs for safe, responsible and enjoyable drone racing. It's vital, that others such as the many spectators at events come away with a positive impression of drone racing. The BDRA's affiliation to the British model flying association, with an illustrious history in model aeronautics celebrating its centenary in 2022, has been incredibly helpful in that regard. There is far more overlap between drone racers and fixed wing pilots than you might first think. Most of the top drone racers enjoy flying planes and the relaxed sense of freedom it brings.

Delta Hawks are a BMFA affiliated drone racing club based near Breedon on the Hill just outside of Ashby de la Zouch. Formed in 2015 and part of the Delta Hawks Model Flying Club until 2018. They have several active FPV flyers offer a friendly and relaxed atmosphere for all levels of drone pilots and organise race events and practice sessions throughout the year.
