Drone racing is a relatively young and very dynamically developing sport discipline both in Europe and in the world. According to the FAI (Fédération Aéronautique Internationale – International Aviation Federation), it is the fastest growing sport in the world. Numerous local, national and international leagues are organized year after year. These races bring together huge groups of enthusiasts of drone modeling, regardless of age, gender or country of origin.
The 2019 edition of the FAI Drone Racing F9U World Cup was the most exciting edition of the series with hundreds of pilots participating in 23 competitions (Challenger Series) around the world.
In 2019, a new series of Masters events was launched to attract elite drone pilots from around the world. The new Masters series was part of the FAI Drone Racing World Cup and was run in addition to the existing Challenger series. The 2019 season culminated in the grand finale of the FAI World Drone Racing Championship held in Xiangshan Ningbo, China from December 11-14, the most exciting drone racing event of the year. The Polish National Team selected in previous qualifying rounds and national competitions took part in the finals.
In 2019, the FAI also added Drone Soccer to its Sporting Code as a provisional class. The first international showcase tournament was held in Korea as part of the 2019 FAI Jeonju World Drone Masters.

First Person View, or FPV, or drone racing, is a sport where participants control “drones” equipped with cameras while wearing special goggles that show live camera feeds from the drones. Similar to full-blown air racing, the goal is to complete a set course as quickly as possible. Drone racing started in Germany in 2011 and FPV (First Person View) flying means pilots only see what the drone sees.
