Level 1: Miami Lights - 12 pilots arrive in Miami for the first ever DRL drone race at Hardrock Stadium, the home of the Miami Dolphins football team. With course features like the vom and helix, pilots get a taste of what it means to race a true 3D course.

Level 2: L.A.pocalypse - An abandoned mall plays host to Level 2 of the DRL 2016 Season. The 6 pilots who advanced from Level 1 are greeted by 6 newcomers ready to disrupt the standings and break course records -- but the vertical hairpin gate may have something else in store for them.

Level 2: L.A.pocalypse Finals - After a disappointing semi-finals, the winner of Level 1 tries to defend his title; while A_nub, Awkbots, and XY.FPV race in relentless pursuit of the podium. The escalator and vertical hair pin continue to challenge pilots, while the canyon becomes the prime place to pass.

Level 3: Project Manhattan - Level 3 pits the world’s best drone pilots against a new generation as they race through the original tech startup: Bell Works. With six drones in the air at once, racing through straightaways and tight corners pushes the pilots to their limits.

Level 3: Project Manhattan Finals - A_Nub continues his fight for first but JohnnyFPV and JET threaten to destroy that dream, as the all pilots go head-to-head in Level 3 finals. Who will finally make it through The Atom and who will crash and burn in the struggle to advance to the next level.
