The Pro Sports Guidebook to Drone Racing
How to Enter the Sport, Build Credibility, and Earn from It
Drone racing is one of the clearest examples of a modern technology sport: part flying, part engineering, part esports, part motorsport, and part live event business.
The Pro Sports Guidebook to Drone Racing is written for anyone who wants to understand FPV racing as a real working world, not just as a hobby or online spectacle. It explains how the sport works, how pilots train, what equipment is used, how racing drones differ from camera drones, how courses are built, how clubs and leagues operate, and how someone can move from simulator practice into organised competition.
Inside, the book covers the full ecosystem of drone racing: flying, coaching, team running, officiating, technical support, media work, repair services, event organisation, sponsorship, catering, spectator income, simulator competition, STEM education, autonomous drone racing, and the wider business around FPV sport.
The guide is suitable for ambitious beginners, parents, youth pilots, drone hobbyists, engineers, STEM educators, club founders, race organisers, coaches, technicians, media workers, sponsors, and practical outsiders looking for a role in the sport.
It includes detailed sections on:
FPV flying and how drone racing works
Typical racing drone types and course formats
Simulators, Tiny Whoops, five-inch racers and open-class builds
Training routes, equipment costs, batteries, repairs and safety
Coaching, youth programmes and STEM opportunities
Race direction, officiating, timing, gates, heats and finals
Technical support, drone building and trackside repair
Media, livestreaming, YouTube, commentary and sponsor work
How to start or join a drone racing competition
How organisers can earn from entry fees, food, drinks, vendors, spectators and sponsors
Current drone racing leagues and competition structures
Glossary, equipment checklist, club questions and rules of the sport
This is a dense, practical guide for people who want to take drone racing seriously, whether they intend to fly, build, organise, teach, support, film, repair or invest time in one of the most technically interesting sports of the modern era.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
