MultiGP

MultiGP championships: an organiser's own titles, year by year.

MultiGP is a race organiser and league with its own championships, qualifiers and class rules. It calls the main race of its International Open the MultiGP World Cup and its Championship winner a World Champion; neither is an FAI title.

Everything on this page is MultiGP's, and none of it is merged with the FAI's World Championship, World Cup or World Games results. Pilots appear here as MultiGP or the named source gives them, often by their racing handle. Where the same name appears in another body's results, no body read for this site confirms that it is the same person.

How pilots reach the Championship

According to Wikipedia, since 2018 a Global Qualifier open to any FPV pilot worldwide has fed the MultiGP Championship, with a global leaderboard used to invite pilots. MultiGP's Championship page gives the 2026 Global Qualifier season as 27 March to 24 August 2026; a search summary, whose source page was not identified but is possibly a trade article, says it opened on 18 April in Rolla, Missouri, which is unconfirmed.

For 2026, MultiGP released invitations in rounds from 31 August: first the defending champion, the top 64 on the Global Qualifier leaderboard, the winners of the EU, Canadian and Latin American championships and the Regional Final winners; then places 65 to 128 and the Regional Final runners-up; then further groups of 64 and the Regional Final third places until the venue was full.

2022 to 2026 in more detail

  • 2022: held at No Quarter Ranch from 18 October, the Sport event first and the Pro event from 20 to 22 October; MultiGP says 710 pilots had flown the global qualifiers.
  • 2023: MultiGP's eighth Championship, over five days at No Quarter Ranch. Pro Class Top 16 final: MCK FPV, Drobotracer, Proximo. Sport Class: Scorcher, DabsFPV, ABNRML (handles only, as MultiGP lists them).
  • 2024: more than 900 pilots flew the Global Qualifier season and 120 qualified from 15 countries. PRO Class: Pawel "pawelosfpv" Laszczak (Poland), Minjae Kim (South Korea), Minchan "MCKFPV" Kim (South Korea). Sport Class: Chad "Blastaa" Butler, Luca "Radian" Mansel (Germany), Colin "FreedomDuck" Jones. The same recap gives class totals of 52 Sport and 64 PRO, which add up to 116, not 120.
  • 2025 ("Kings of Tulsa"): 7 to 11 October at the Hardesty National BMX Hall of Fame in Tulsa, the first MultiGP Championship in Tulsa and the first indoors. Pro Class: Joaquin "Jbox" Ybanez (USA), Pedro "Pino" Caceres (USA), Yuki Hashimoto (Japan); MultiGP says a review after a collision moved Hashimoto from second to third in a round. Sport Class: Charlie "Bozli" Boushley, Dillon "Blipz" Stokes, Max "The_Herder" Goin. Pro Spec: Evan "HeadsUp" Turner, Mason "Hyper" Lively, Kalli "KalliFPV" Ames. MultiGP's Pro Spec page gives that event as 7 to 12 October instead.
  • 2026: held at the Dallas Drone Racing field in Carrollton, Texas, which MultiGP calls the world's premier event in Open-class drone racing. A MultiGP headline of 18 October says MCK won; the article and the class standings were not read. MultiGP's home page says pilots came from 15 countries.

The International Open and its "World Cup" race

MultiGP holds its International Open at the Academy of Model Aeronautics headquarters in Muncie, Indiana, and calls its main race the MultiGP World Cup. That race is not the FAI Drone Racing World Cup.

  • 2024: final bracket on 15 June 2024. Killian "Darkex" Rousseau (France), Ashton "Drobot" Gamble (USA), Evan "Headsup" Turner, from more than 160 pilots in the World Cup (MultiGP recap).
  • 2025: MultiGP's 2025 Championship recap says Yuki Hashimoto had won the MultiGP World Cup and the MultiGP European Championship earlier that year.
  • 2026: 10 to 14 June, with about 200 pilots from 13 countries, eight tracks running daily and the World Cup Finals on the Saturday evening (AMA, 1 June 2026). A trade-press search summary says Minjae Kim won, the deciding run coming in the Top 64 Finals on 13 June; no MultiGP result was read, so this is unconfirmed.

A trade-press search summary also lists earlier MultiGP World Cup winners as Evan Turner in 2021, Min Chan Kim in 2022 and Killian Rousseau in 2023. Those three years are unconfirmed.

The MultiGP European Championship

This is a MultiGP event, not an FAI continental championship.

  • 2025, first edition: Sportplatz SV07 Aich, Aichtal, Germany, over three days, with 86 pilots from 18 countries. MultiGP gives the order as Yuki, Marv (Liechtenstein) and NZMFPV (Turkey), with Marv, NZMFPV and PawelosFPV (Poland, fourth) level on points and split by a final-round tie-breaker; the top qualifier was Minjae (Korea). A trade-press search summary dates it 12 to 14 September 2025.
  • 2026, second edition: 11 to 13 September at the same ground, Open Class, run by two MultiGP chapters. A MultiGP news teaser dated 15 September names "Minjae" as champion; the recap was not read. The teaser gives 108 pilots from 25 countries, while the event page's registration list showed 104 entrants (96 race slots plus standbys) from 21 countries.

Pro Spec, Collegiate and the Regional Series

MultiGP's Pro Spec page names its Pro Spec champions as Levi "Leviathan" Johnson in 2024 and Evan "Headsup" Turner in 2025. It says every Pro Spec race in the 2025/26 season adds to a points leaderboard deciding invitations to the 2026 Pro Spec Championship; no date, venue or result for that was found.

A trade-press search summary places the 2026 Collegiate Drone Racing Championship on 11 and 12 April in Tulsa, with eight-pilot teams, and MultiGP's news page lists a report on it dated 13 April.

MultiGP's 2026 Regional Series covered six US regions plus Canada, Central America and South America. Its pages list these 2026 regional champions: Tristan "TDog" Tefft (US Mountain), Mason "Hyper" Lively (US Central), Cody "Statikk" Laberge (US Northeast), Wesley "wesleyfpv" Park (US Pacific), Kasey "Outset" Gray (US Southeast), Thomas "Spicy" Cinnamon (US Great Lakes), Rob "BigRob" Bowles (Canada) and Isauro "isaurokv" Koh Velazquez (Central America).
