To ensure maximum visibility for spectators, two rounds were held during daylight hours while one took place in the evening. The use of LED lamps on each drone made it easier for fans to follow along with every twist and turn.

In addition to the Championship' races, yesterday morning also saw an important milestone as it hosted the Final round for 2023 FAI E-Drone Racing Cup, which was won by French pilot Swan Versmissen. This event was met with success and marked a new chapter in this sport's history.
