Top 48 pilots converge on the 2026 MultiGP Pro Spec eSport Wildcard Race on VelociDrone today, February 22, 2026, split into two double-elimination brackets of 24 pilots each. The event is presented by Official MultiGP Simulator and the stated payoff is direct: the winner will earn a spot in the 2026 Pro Spec World Championship.

The Wildcard built to this moment opened registration on January 6 with a $10 ticket price listed as Buy Ticket $10. Track release and open qualifying began January 29 when the track named "2026 MultiGP Pro Spec eSport Wildcard Race" was posted and pilots were invited to "Watch Track Fly Through." Organizers framed the run-up as an intensive window: "A two-week online qualifying E-Series will push pilots to their limits." Qualifying closed February 12, and pilots who purchased tickets were required to confirm participation "within February 12 at 7pm EST."

Entry rules remained strict and specific: pilots must purchase a ticket, register to the race, and "Do at Least one qualifying attempt on Velocidrone using only Pro Spec Quad." The site copy repeats that "Only Pro Spec Quad times will be accepted." At the end of the qualifying window, the event page promises that "At the end of qualifiers, the Top 24 pilots plus 24 additional selected pilots will be invited to the Final Tournament."

Finals logistics were posted in the timeline: qualifying close on February 12, finals announcement on February 13, and the Top 48 finals on "February 22th", the site copy uses that ordinal. The bracket format appears on the page as "2 Double Elimination Brackets of 24 Pilots each" and contains fragments such as "Next Bracket (Top 4 to Bump Up)" and the UI label "Qualified for Top 24 Final" tied to advancement status.

Registration numbers on the event page show a puzzling snapshot: "Pilots Registered: 65 as of January 26 th, 2025." That 2025 timestamp sits alongside event material that references 2026 dates, an inconsistency the posting leaves unresolved. The live leaderboard area on the page lists ranks 1–48 as placeholders under an "official leadearboard" heading, but the table contains no pilot names or times in the published copy.

VelociDrone is the required platform and the Wildcard sits within a broader simulator ecosystem; the event page lists VelociDrone track names and series entries historically used in MultiGP play, including a prior wildcard entry Memphis 901 Pro Spec Wildcard 2024. On-site navigation items and outreach hooks remain visible: View Leaderboard, Live Stream, Register, Join the Race, and social links repeated on the page as Discord Facebook Instagram Tiktok Youtube.

Today’s double-elimination rounds will resolve who advances from the Top 48 and who claims the single guaranteed berth into the 2026 Pro Spec World Championship. Organizers framed the tournament plainly: "The Pro Spec Sim Tournament has one goal: to find the fastest Pro Spec Sim pilot.
