2024 MultiGP Sharjah Drone Championship: My first Spec Race and first time racing a 7" machine. I ran in 6 heats, 5 of which I had mid-air collisions, the other I raced with a bent motor. Needless to say I didn't achieve the results I was hoping for (finished P8 on points), but for the flip side, I had plenty of fun battles and know I'm still up their with the best, even in a field of racing I don't have much experience with!
My personal endeavours aside, what a truely ground breaking event for MultiGP & FPV. Chris Thomas and the team, along side the Sharjah crew put on an incredible show, that was both fun to spectate, and really fun to fly in. I'm not sure there's ever been such a successful first event of its kind in FPV, but if this is was the experimental event, the worst that it gets, I'm really excited to see what the MultiGP team pulls off next.
A massive thank you to the Sharjah for being such wonderful hosts, the MultiGP team for putting together this wonderful experience for both pilots and spectators, and also providing the opportunity to catch up with names in FPV Racing that I wasn't sure when I was going to cross paths again. This was one awesome way to do it and I really hope I get to participate in an event like this soon.
To the pilots, thank you so much for being such awesome competitors on track, and creating wonderful memories off track too. It was a really fun adventure and I can't wait to meet again!
(A bonus thank you to Amari for giving myself and Shaun Taylor a crash course on maximising performance in RPM limit racing too, you're a legend) (Also massive thanks to the tech ops crew for relentlessly repairing our machines after the many mid-air collisions that ensued :P )
Congratulations to Levi, MCK, BanniUK & Killian for rounding off the event with an epic grand final race.
Back to training, stay safe and best wishes!
Hope you enjoy it. Comments and Questions down below :)
