D-Class (Hobbyist)

Welcome to the starting line, rookie! D-Class is where every pilot proves they can fly a drone without turning it into an unexpected firework display.

Here, your biggest achievements include not crashing into trees, spectators, or, most importantly, your own pride.

Pilots in this class are still figuring out which part of the drone is the front. It's all about mastering the basics, like taking off without performing an accidental barrel roll.

C-Class (Enthusiasts)

You've graduated from the "please don't hit that" phase and can actually tell what those blinking lights mean.  This is the next step into the Drone Racing World!  The line between RTF birthday drone from Grandma and hand soldered from parts after countless hours on youtube makes you the FPV Know It All!

C-Class pilots have a few races under their belts and are known to occasionally finish a race without asking, "Which way was I supposed to go again?" They have Mr. TinyWhoop on speed dial for that quick shipping Whoop racing part!  Here, talent starts to sparkle like a drone LED in the night sky, but strategy might still be as lost as a drone in a strong wind.

It's time to start taking things a little more seriously, or at least remember to charge your batteries.

B-Class (Advanced)

Welcome to B-Class, where pilots start to get a taste of what drone racing is really about.

You've got some tricks up your sleeve and can navigate through obstacles with the grace of a caffeinated squirrel.

Your drone setup is no longer just whatever was on sale, and you've started to understand that aerodynamics is not a type of fancy gym workout.

Races are competitive, and you're in it to win it, even if your idea of a tactical advantage sometimes means sand baggin into a lower race class.

A-Class (Pro)

A-Class is where the big drones fly. You're not just a pilot; you're an aviator with skills sharp enough to slice through the air like a hot knife through butter, you’re a Zar of the sky!

Your control over your drone is so precise, spectators wonder if it's magic or just a lot of practice. Spoiler: It's both. You've developed rivalries that are less about competition and more about who has the snazziest looking drone. 

Races are intense, and your ability to pull off maneuvers that defy gravity (and sometimes logic) is what keeps you in the sky.

S-Class (Elite)

The myths, the legends, the ones who've transcended drone racing to become something else entirely.

S-Class pilots are so advanced they’ve surpassed power level 9000 and are rumored to control their drones with a Neura-link and a high Midi-chlorian count.

These pilots navigate courses blindfolded to experience a whole new plane of existence. Their drones are top-notch, equipped with technology so advanced, it might as well be from the future.  The only Whoop pilots that can deliver a One Punch face punch!

Winning is not just about crossing the finish line first; it's about doing it in style, with a flip and a wink to the crowd. S-Class is not just a ranking; it's a statement.

ABACADABA always worked on pop quizzes for me!

Oooor you can check out the Pilot Profiles, their rank, the color of their hair… Whatever speaks to you and says, “this one has a 50/50 chance of not crashing”

Also, check out the current Pilot Leaderboard to see:

1. Their Fastest Lap (Lap)

2. Best Qualifying time (Qual)

3. Current Point Total and Position in the group.

Consistency is key!  Fastest lap doesn't correlate 100% to fastes Qual and neither mean they will finish races so also consider their total points also!

You can also check out their Leaderboard stats from previous events. Shake N Bake baby!

Ah, the age-old tale of ghosting. 
If your pilot decides to bail (maybe they saw a really intimidating cloud), we update the heat, and you get to play the guessing game again. 
It’s our way of saying, “It’s not you, it’s them.”

Stalking is such a strong word. We prefer "enthusiastically following." 
And yes, you can absolutely do that. Tap on their Pilot Profiles, check out their social media links and sponsors!
