meet Titan Grand Prix

How was your Sunday? Mine was good. I am part of a team that engineered and piloted a giant drone to victory against a Formula E car at the New York City ePrix. So… that’s pretty cool. Meet Titan Grand Prix, a giant drone racing league that would very much like to take the world by storm. Because once you’ve heard these monsters live, you are a fan for life.

Watch the background here after Zach’s spectacular finish to see just how far back the ePrix car is.

Zach made a safe ditch when he felt some squirrely nonsense in the handling (safety first!). And besides, we won. Formula E made the call to scratch the best 2 out of 3 series because, well, that was frickin’ terrifying. =) Don’t hold it against them. This was their first time. Zach did awesome, and they are terrific hosts. We hope to do it again soon!

On behalf of Titan Grand Prix, our heartfelt thanks to the Federation of Drone Racing, to FIA Formula E, to JAM Projects, to our pilots Zachry Thayer and Jordan Temkin, and to many more individuals without whom this could not have happened. If we have not had opportunity to thank you individually yet, you know we will. Here’s to future successes even brighter than this.

Love to Marjorie for having my back, and to Avery. She looked pretty thrilled that her dad was out there doing the thing with the drone and the car. Love love love.
