2024 FAI World Drone Racing Championship: Qualification rounds

Today at the 2024 FAI Drone Racing World Championship, the inclement weather was only a memory. In contrast to yesterday's all-day rain that postponed most of the scheduled program, today presented no weather problems, allowing organisers to catch up on the events.

Yesterday's Challenges

  • Out of 3 scheduled qualifying rounds, only 1 was concluded late at night.

Today's Progress

  • All qualifying rounds were completed.

  • The event has now moved to the elimination stage.

  • We expect to conclude the originally scheduled program by the end of the day.

Tomorrow's Finals

The top 4 competitors will compete for the gold medal in three final categories:

  1. Overall classification

  2. Juniors

  3. Females

Competition Structure
