A location with a history stretching back to the 17th Century might not have been the obvious choice as the stage for a new sport at the cutting edge of modern technology.
However, inside the Turda Salt Mine in Romania - in operation since the 1620s - a huge cavern has been excavated over the years.
It now measures 120 metres from top to bottom and is 110 metres wide, creating a massive space and still air - perfect for drone racing.
40 of the world best pilots and more than 3000 spectators didn't miss out on the spectacle, which culminated on Sunday with the grand final.
Britain's Luke Bannister, of the TBS X-Blades team, who came into the event as the points leader in the newly-created Drone Champions League, crashed his machine into a gate and was eliminated in the quarter-finals.
That gave others the chance to shine and Bannister's Polish team-mate Mac Poshwald seized the opportunity to take the victory.
He was followed by two members of the Wildcard team, Jan Mittner of the Czech Republic and Dutch pilot Martijn De Kemp.
Austria's Walter Kirsch of the Egodrift Racing team, missed out on a podium finish.
The final brought the curtain down on the inaugural Drone Champions League season.
Next year, organisers plan to visit five locations and teams with four pilots each will race for the Drone Champions League title 2017.
They have already agreed to return to the Turda Salt Mine.
