After three days of 24G cornering in Aichtal, Germany, Minjae Kim edges out Yuki by less than one-tenth of a second in an electrifying final verified by high-speed 120fps ground DVR review.
- Photo-Finish Decision: Minjae Kim won the 2026 European Championship title after race telemetry and 120fps ground DVR footage showed a margin of just +0.074s over runner-up Yuki.
- Dallas World Championship Seeding: Kim, Yuki, and 3rd-place finisher Marvin earned automatic top-tier seeds for the MultiGP World Championship on October 15 in Dallas.
- Cornering Physics: Racers pulled sustained lateral loads exceeding 24G through the high-speed sweeper, drawing over 180A peak bursts on 6S 1300mAh LiHV packs.
AICHTAL, GERMANY (14 September 2026) — The 2026 MultiGP European Championship concluded on Sunday afternoon with one of the most fiercely contested final heats in professional drone racing history. Sixty-four elite pilots tackled a punishing 42-gate course engineered to test pilot reflexes and motor thermal dissipation.
By the grand final, South Korean pilot Minjae Kim and Japanese contender Yuki were separated by mere centimeters across all three laps. Entering the final high-speed gate, both machines crossed the infrared timing transponder virtually simultaneously.
“When pilots enter the final dive gate separated by twelve centimeters at 140 kilometers per hour, you cannot rely on human perception. High-speed transponders and 120fps ground DVR review gave Minjae the victory by under a tenth of a second.”
