Minjae tops qualifiers as MultiGP crowns first European Championship
Yuki Hashimoto climbed from third in qualifying to win MultiGP’s first European Championship, outlasting 86 pilots from 18 countries in Aichtal.
Yuki Hashimoto turned a third-place qualifying run into the first MultiGP European Championship title, winning in Aichtal, Germany, after a bracket race that pulled 86 pilots from 18 countries through six double-elimination mains.
The three-day championship at Sportplatz SV07 Aich ran Sept. 12-14, 2025, as the first official European Championship for Open Class. The venue sat about a 20-minute drive from Stuttgart International Airport, a location that helped the event draw an international field and sell out all 96 starting places, with 64 reserved through the Global Qualifier ranking and 32 offered first-come, first-served.
Qualifying set the tone before the elimination rounds changed the script. Minjae led the sheet with a 49.556 lap, reigning MultiGP World Champion Pawelos followed at 52.992, and Hashimoto placed third at 53.132. Marv of Liechtenstein clocked 53.959, Killian Rousseau of France posted 54.885, NZMFPV of Turkey landed at 55.245, and Jbox was the lone American in the upper group at 57.323. Pastis took the final direct A Main spot with a 59.118 lap.
Once the brackets opened, raw speed mattered less than who could keep moving through the mains. The format rewarded pilots who could survive pressure and recover from mistakes, and it produced climbs from lower brackets for Danbuster, Akra, Scorb and Trinxbaguette. Danbuster’s run was the most notable of those advances, ending with a fifth-place finish overall after pushing up from deeper in the field.
Hashimoto had already won the MultiGP World Cup at the 2025 International Open before arriving in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Aichtal added another major trophy to that season.
