Important information for pilots
You are required to run a 65mm whoop (65mm diagonal post-to-post). 65mm and 65mm pro whoops are accepted. If your whoop does not meet this requirement, please reach out to us and we will do our best to get you compliant for the race.
All drones must comply with the current CAA restrictions including insurance. Please make sure you are covered before attending.
You are required to be a member of the BDRA before the event so you can score points towards the finals. You can still attend if not, but your points will not be counted towards the final event.
Timing and format
We will be using a rotorhazard 8-node lap timer with a front-end software known as fpv trackside, alongside an event VRX which will capture both analogue and digital video feeds. These combined will alow us to accurately marashal the event, and are used in the most prestigious FPV events in the world..
The format will be a period of qualifying, followed by a triple elimination format for finals.
