Georgia Tech hosts MultiGP Southeast Regional Qualifier at Couch Park Field

Georgia Tech and the RotorJackets Club turned Couch Park Field into a sanctioned proving ground for MultiGP pilots, giving Southeast racers a shot at standing, recognition and advancement inside the sport’s regional ladder. The qualifier ran Saturday, June 20, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and the setup mattered as much as the spectacle: this was not a demo or a campus novelty, but a real stop in an official competitive circuit.

The event’s value came from what it offered racers on the clock. MultiGP regional qualifiers are about more than a single afternoon’s speed, because each clean lap and each heat win helps shape a pilot’s position in a larger ecosystem that rewards consistency as well as raw pace. By putting the race on a public campus calendar, Georgia Tech gave the qualifier a visible, organized platform, and by co-hosting it with the RotorJackets Club, the school connected student infrastructure to an established FPV racing pathway. That is how a local event stops being local.

Couch Park Field gave the meet a college-sport setting without sanding off the club-racing edge. The listing included the venue and the closest parking, small details that matter in a live drone race where pilots, spotters, helpers and spectators need to move quickly between pits and the course. In FPV, flow is part of the competition: registration, frequency management, safety checks, heats and turnaround time all have to work if the afternoon is going to produce real racing instead of long delays.

The strongest signal from Georgia Tech’s qualifier is structural. A university-hosted regional stop gives Southeast pilots a place to measure themselves on a sanctioned stage, and it shows that the regional pipeline is deep enough to live on campus without losing its competitive edge. The race at Couch Park Field fit that mold exactly, pairing a recognizable host with a clearly defined qualifier and a five-hour window built for serious racing.
