Rocket Racing League (RRL) is a revolutionary new sports, gaming and entertainment franchise where a diverse cadre of highly trained military and test pilots such as former “Top Gun” graduates from the Navy’s Fighter Weapons School fly rocket-powered aircraft through a 3D virtual Raceway-In-The-Sky (RITS).
