Red Bull bill their Mini Drone as the "world’s smallest velodrome" and they’ve been running contests around the UK all year on the track.

Everyone approaches the Mini Drone with a different technique, some more successfully than others – the incident where one guy stacks it only to be run over by his pursuer is particularly wince-inducing. The bruising crashes look to be part and parcel of the whole experience though – check it out below:
