The Rocket Racing League is an aircraft racing league that is currently under development. The races will consist of pilots flying rocket-powered planes through three-dimensional racetracks in the air. The league currently has six confirmed teams which will race four times during the year. Spectators will watch from stands located next to the runway. Races will also be broadcast online, with superimposed markers to designate the path of the racetrack.
