FPV Addiction’s MultiGP Global Qualifier signals peak late-spring FPV season

FPV Addiction’s MultiGP Global Qualifier did more than fill a weekend slot in Citrus Springs. It ran from May 17 to May 18, 2026, with a full qualifier ladder that stretched from round 1 through round 10 and carried through overall results, final results and top-3-consecutive standings, the kind of format that turns a local drone race into a legitimate championship test.

The pace of the event showed up in the timing. LiveFPV recorded qualifier round 10 completions at 5:06 pm and 7:13 pm on May 17, which meant the field was still pushing late into the day rather than wrapping up after a quick one-and-done session. That kind of schedule changes the race experience for pilots and spectators alike: consistency matters across multiple heats, the pressure builds round by round, and the final standings come from sustained execution rather than one fast lap.

The scale also stood out. MultiGP’s 2026 Global Qualifier leaderboard page showed 263 entries, a number that helps explain why the Citrus Springs stop needed a two-day footprint and a complete results structure. MultiGP’s 2026 schedule listed FPV Addiction’s race for May 17 at 10:00 am in Citrus Springs, Florida, matching the LiveFPV listing and placing the event squarely inside the organization’s broader global qualifying calendar.

That global frame is part of what gives the event weight. MultiGP says its championship series is open to all countries, and the annual official Global Qualifier track is selected by community vote from submitted designs. Tier 3, Tier 2 and Tier 1 chapters can host a specified number of Global Qualifier races on that year’s official track, which means a chapter in Citrus Springs is plugged into the same system as qualifiers elsewhere in the world.

For FPV Addiction, the qualifier also reinforced its place in the local scene. A Street League Drone Racing profile identifies the group as a Citrus Springs, Florida drone racing crew, and that home base matters when a chapter is hosting a race built for ranked progression inside what MultiGP describes as the largest drone racing league and FPV community in the world. This was not a casual fly-in. It was a formal, results-driven stop with enough depth to make late-spring FPV feel fully alive.
