Mason Hyper Lively has put FPV Addiction on top of a 441-entry MultiGP Global Qualifier board, but the gap behind him is thin enough to keep every lap feeling like a playoff. Hyper Lively sits first with 3 laps in 27.45856, Spencer Screecher Cannizzaro of E.C.O. is next at 27.84768, and Dimo BURKAN Shterev of Quad Racers follows at 28.389376.

That is only the start of the squeeze. Dorian Pastis Couailles, Killian KillianFPV Rousseau, Marvin MARV_FPV Schäpper, Jonas bajo Bargenda, Guo ChengGuoFPV Cheng, Lukas CrysonFPV Böhm and Tristan TDog Tefft all sit packed into a little more than two seconds around the lead, which turns the top of the board into a race for tenths rather than a simple list of names. With the top 25 still showing pilots under the 31-second mark, one clean line, one gate strike or one battery decision can reshuffle several places at once.

The bigger story is how global the pressure has become. The top 25 includes pilots and chapters tied to Bulgaria, Germany, France, China, Estonia, the United States and more, with names like Aircrasher, DMFV - Drone Racing Series, Drone Racing Kiel, The Other Guys, Bavarian Multirotor, Shanghai Drone Racing, Scholastic Drone Sports, MultiGP Championships, MultiGP Estonia, KDCSofia and FUN FLY RACE all appearing in the mix. That spread makes the leaderboard look less like a local club sheet and more like a single performance ladder connecting regional series that usually operate on their own turf.

MultiGP’s structure is built to force that collision. The 2026 Global Qualifier season began March 27, and Tier 3, Tier 2 and Tier 1 chapters are all eligible to host races on the official annual track, which was designed by AryFPV. The first opportunity to buy championship tickets goes to the Top 64 PRO and Top 52 SPORT pilots, while the MultiGP Championship 2026 will be staged in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the Hardesty National BMX Hall of Fame. The championship page says 64 pilots will qualify from the top 150 on the Global Qualifier leaderboard, with 16 more coming from the 2025 Pro Spec Series.

The scale explains why this board matters now. MultiGP says it has more than 30,000 registered pilots and 500 active chapters worldwide, and the qualifier has already shown how fast the field can expand. The 2024 spring round drew 927 pilots from 38 countries, then the 2025 series reached 1,113 pilots from 51 countries. Against that backdrop, the 2026 leaderboard is already acting like a live global points race, with the field still deep enough for a single run to change the route to Tulsa.
