Mundy wins tense final lap at MultiGP Drone Racing Worlds

Tom Mundy won the Advanced class at the 2026 MultiGP Drone Racing World event, with Kris Smith taking second and Toby Hughes third after a final lap that MultiGP framed as loaded with emotion. Samuele Felotti finished fourth, a result that shows how tight the fight stayed at the front when the race reached its most unforgiving stretch.

The podium tells the story even without a full lap-by-lap writeup: Mundy, racing as ANTIHYPE, did enough under pressure to stay ahead when the closing moments mattered most, while Smith and Hughes kept the margin close enough to force a real battle to the line. In FPV racing, that final lap is where a clean line, smooth throttle control and one avoided mistake can be worth more than raw pace over the rest of the run. A clipped gate or a rushed approach can flip a podium in seconds, and this result suggests the Advanced field was decided by execution rather than comfort.

Felotti’s fourth-place finish adds another layer to the picture. A top four separated by Mundy, Smith, Hughes and Felotti points to a class where the front-runners were never far apart, and where every decision in the final rotation carried consequence. That is the kind of race that rewards pilots who can keep speed without forcing the course, which is often the harder skill once the pressure spikes.

The result also lands inside a championship structure that carries real weight in drone racing. MultiGP describes itself as the largest professional drone racing league in the world, with more than 30,000 registered pilots and 500 active chapters worldwide. Its site also keeps archive pages for championship coverage from 2016, 2019 and 2024, underscoring how major-event results are tracked as part of a long-running competitive record. In that context, Mundy’s win is not just another podium line; it is a pressure finish in a field big enough to make every advanced-class mistake count.
