What’s faster? Austria’s most impressive tech or a KTM RC16?
Prior to the Austrian MotoGP, Jonas Folger took on Red Bull’s Drone 1 with his KTM RC16. The drone, known as the world’s fastest, boasts a top speed of 217mph, but that still trails behind the MotoGP record of 227mph set by KTM’s Brad Binder at the 2023 Italian Grand Prix. Despite the Red Bull Ring’s high speeds, the track layout prevents the setting of new speed records, allowing the drone to keep pace with Folger. While the drone showcases a solid performance, it’s a race it can never win due to camera positioning. Red Bull’s Drone 1 has previously been featured in F1 filming and MotoGP events. This weekend, the RC16 faces tough competition from Ducati’s Marc Marquez, the current MotoGP points leader with a remarkable win streak.
