TWUK League Race
2025 Finals
════════════════════════════
Presented by
British Drone Racing Association
════════════════════════════
The very first official TWUK League has come to its thrilling conclusion! It’s time to find out who will take the top spot, and become the fastest whoop pilot from across the UK!
We’ve seen some incredible battles and races across the country, and the year, leading to this moment.
DRC kicked things off in their very own whoop barn at the end of the 2024 summer, leading us into the whoop season. https://www.ifpv.co.uk/events/588
BTW then squeezed in just before xmas with a great showing for such a busy time of the year. https://www.ifpv.co.uk/events/339
HTWC put on a fantastic and huge event down in london, with a few challenges but some great racing. https://www.ifpv.co.uk/events/462
Bucky FPV, not to be out done, produced a great race at BMFA HQ stacking gates to the ceiling! https://www.ifpv.co.uk/events/582
It’s really all to play for with very few points in it to see who will take the top spot! Check out the current standings of the finals here: https://www.ifpv.co.uk/table/whoop-table
The winner will get their name inscribed on the brand spangly new, and fully adopted by the BMFA, trophy. (Oh yes, there is a trophy!) Your name could be the first on the list for generations to come, seen and sought by all UK micro drone pilots as they battle for this new and prestigious award!
This is going to be a fast and frantic dash for the top spot!
Sign up below & be part of the action!
