The International World Games Association (IWGA) and the Birmingham Organising Committee (BOC) have announced that the next edition of the World Games, which includes drone racing and parachuting canopy piloting, has been moved from 2021 to 2022 (7-17 July). This change follows the IOC’s decision to reschedule the Tokyo Olympic Games to 2021.
The 2020 season of the FAI Drone Racing World Cup will start with a bang at the Race of Drones Oulu in Finland this Friday 13 March.
The Finnish competition will gather an array of world-class pilots from around the world, including Korea, the Philippines and Morocco, for a total number of 43 registered competitors. It will include last year’s winner of the 2019 FAI Drone Racing World Cup series, Tomass Pētersons of Latvia.
Junior competitors are once again tipped to dominate the podiums at the FAI World Drone Racing Championship Grand Final 2019 (WDRC2019).
Favourites at this year’s event include Korean junior pilot Minchan Kim (top picture), who claimed the top spot at the recent FAI World Drone Masters in Jeonju, Korea, and FAI Drone Racing World Cup 2018 winner Killian Rousseau of France.
