GEMFAN touts World Cup top 10 sweep at MultiGP International Open

GEMFAN’s sponsored pilots didn’t just show up at the 9th MultiGP International Open, they locked down the World Cup top 10 at AMA Headquarters in Muncie, Indiana, from June 10-14. That kind of clean sweep lands differently on a stage that drew more than 200 pilots from 13 countries and sent them through a course where spectators could watch drones ripping past at more than 100 mph.

The scale is the point. LiveFPV’s archived event data put the World Cup Finals field at 119 entries and 119 drivers, while the Ladies and Juniors event drew 148 entries and 142 drivers and the Over-40 class added 17 more entries. When a brand-owned pilot lineup clears the top 10 in that environment, it reads less like a logo placement and more like a statement about depth, consistency and control under pressure.

That is also why the result carries more weight than a standard sponsor recap. MultiGP’s International Open schedule stretched across Team Race, Chapter Organizer’s Race, World Cup qualifying, Build & Fly, Over 40, Over 50, Ladies and Junior’s Race, Pro Spec, Freedom Spec, Cracked Props, Burnt Motors, Hammers, AER Individual and WhoopVille, which made the event feel closer to a festival of racing formats than a single trophy run. MultiGP has called the International Open the “biggest FPV drone racing event on Earth,” and this year’s 15-plus competition slate backed that up.

The hardware angle is where GEMFAN is trying to turn results into reputation. The recap singled out the MJ5129.2 prop as a standout on what it framed as the world’s biggest FPV racing stage, and that claim has a real test behind it: a mixed field, a five-day meet, and an international roster that put the best pilots in the sport on the same start lines. MultiGP says it is the largest professional drone racing league in the world, with more than 30,000 registered pilots and 500 active chapters worldwide, so the International Open is not a side event. It is the showcase.

For GEMFAN, a top-10 sweep in the World Cup bracket is the kind of result that cuts through the marketing noise. In a sport where hundredths of a second decide brackets, the sweep says the pilots had pace, the equipment held up and the brand showed up exactly where drone racing’s biggest proofs are earned.
