Drone Racing League

The Drone Racing League (DRL) is a New York-based professional drone racing property founded in 2015 by Nicholas Horbaczewski, staging first-person-view (FPV) races in which pilots fly identical, league-built quadcopters - the Racer series - through three-dimensional courses in stadiums, arenas and landmark venues at speeds above 80 mph. DRL designs its own racing drones, timing and telemetry hardware, produces and distributes its race broadcasts across NBC, Sky Sports, ProSiebenSat.1 and streaming platforms, and operates the DRL Simulator, an FPV racing game on Steam, PlayStation and Xbox that feeds the Swatch DRL Tryouts esports pipeline used to recruit professional pilots. The company was acquired by Infinite Reality (now Napster) in April 2024. DRL publishes no public developer portal, API documentation, SDKs or machine-readable API specification, and as of the 2026-08-04 enrichment pass its primary web properties (thedroneracingleague.com, drl.io) were not completing a TLS handshake.

Drone Racing League is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Sports, Esports, Drones, and Racing.
