Yuki Wins MultiGP European Championship in Aichtal's 86-Pilot International Field

Yuki arrived in Aichtal having qualified third, with a 53.132-second lap sitting behind Korean pilot Minjae's event-record 49.556 and reigning MultiGP World Champion Pawelos's 52.992. By Sunday evening, the qualifying order had been reshuffled entirely: Yuki took the MultiGP European Championship title, converting race-day consistency into a result that will shape selection and seeding across the rest of the 2026 season.

The event drew 86 pilots from 18 countries to southern Germany, competing across six double-elimination mains labeled A through F on a track designed by TBone FPV. The layout prioritized flow alongside raw pace, punishing imprecision as severely as it punished overcaution. Minjae's 49.556 stood alone at the top of the qualifying sheet, separating the Korean pilot from the rest of the field by more than three seconds and immediately setting the benchmark for the weekend. Pawelos, who carries the current MultiGP World Championship into every event he enters, responded with a 52.992 to claim P2. Marvin Schapper of Liechtenstein qualified fourth at 53.959, while Killian Rousseau of France closed out the top five with a 54.885.

France's presence extended further down the board. Multiple French pilots occupied positions across the Top 12, a show of national depth that stood out even in a field built around international competition.

The double-elimination format generated its own set of narratives. The A Main on Sunday packed 16 pilots into an elimination ladder where one missed gate or downed gate could drop a top seed into the scramble bracket and unravel a weekend's worth of work. Danbuster of the United Kingdom used the format to his advantage: after falling into the B Main, he fought back through the bracket, secured a place in the A Main, and finished fifth overall. It was among the more compelling comeback arcs the weekend produced.

Jbox, the only American in the field, qualified at 57.323 seconds and worked through heats in what amounted to a high-profile audition in front of a largely European paddock. His presence pointed to how broadly MultiGP's reach has extended beyond its domestic circuit.

The final day ran for nearly eight hours on livestream, with commentator Matt Andrews carrying the broadcast through bracket decisions and the A Main itself. MultiGP framed the Aichtal championship not as a standalone event but as the start of a new fixture in the sport's annual structure, and the results will feed directly into seeding decisions for the MultiGP Championship schedule later in the year.

Yuki's title, built on a qualifying time that never suggested pole-position dominance, confirmed that in a double-elimination format, survival strategy matters as much as outright speed.
