"Flying car races are no longer just reserved for computer games and
science fiction movies, now they are hitting the real world.
The organisers behind the world’s first motorsport series for flying
electric cars, Airspeeder, say the races are expected to take place in
2020, with a view to scheduling a full Grand Prix championship season
soon after. Meanwhile, they have "bold ambitions to accelerate a
revolution in sustainable transport," the founder of the race, Matt
Pearson told Euronews Living.
Once restrictions related to the coronavirus crisis are lifted, the
Speeders (flying electric cars) will be further tested - they have
already undergone successful unmanned tests using a remote control. A
team of test pilots recruited from the US Air Force and Martin Aviation
are in charge of the MK3 prototype, which is set to be trialled in the
Mojave Desert, California. The Speeders can gain up to 200 kph at full
speed and fly between 5-40 metres off the ground."
