DANIEL AYRE WINS TWO DRONE RACES IN SWITZERLAND

The sport of drone racing is relatively new, but the Hunter can already lay claim to one of the world’s best competitors.

Daniel Ayre, a physio who works at an aged care facility, beat 60 other pilots from across the planet to earn a place in top Chinese team, the Dragons.

At round one of the Drone Champions League in Switzerland, Ayre won two races, beating highly-fancied rivals from the US.

Round two takes place in Italy in June.
