– The footage was captured during the pre-season testing of Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup in Circuito de Jerez, where the development series season kicks-off this weekend alongside MotoGP racing. Here’s all you need to know:

- The tailor-made drone technology, initially created to capture an uninterrupted Formula 1 shot with Max Verstappen allowed the pilot to get on the rear wheel of the Moto3 spec KTM bikes to capture high-definition video of young Grand Prix riders racing wheel-to-wheel around the Jerez circuit in Southern Spain.

- Technology developers Dutch Drone Gods, are continuing to develop the drone that can reach speeds of 300 km/h in under 4 seconds by testing and applying the innovation in variety of motorsport disciplines.

- Talking about differences of flying the drone manually behind a Formula 1 car and MotoGP bike, the pilot Ralph Hogenbirk, a.k.a Shaggy FPV put emphasis on deployment of power and acceleration.

- “The bikes have a longer braking path than the Formula 1 car but it accelerates out of the corner much faster – I had to adapt to that literally on the fly. We also needed to change the camera angle a lot during the flights as we were getting closer and closer, getting under bridges and the track itself is very dynamic from low-speed to high-speed,” said Shaggy FPV.

- The Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup kicks-off in Spain this weekend for the 18th time after selection rounds saw 15 new riders join the 26-rider grid in October last year. The series has produced 32 MotoGP race winners with riders Jorge Martin, Brad Binder and others. MotoGP rookie Pedro Acosta has won the series back in 2020.
