Group Races are back in 2025!
Each pilot will be assigned a group based on their current 2025 MultiGP Spring Global Qualifier ranking.
If you can’t get a GQ in before you get to IO, we will have it set up for you to run on site for a group assignment.
The groups are, Lipo Fires, High Voltage, Cracked Props, Hammers and Burnt Motors. Each group will comprise of similar skilled pilots to provide excellent racing without hours of qualifying!
Pilots of each groups will compete only against pilots of the same group. These skill-based groups will grant a fair and balanced competition and everyone will have a chance to compete in multiple races throughout the week!
The Over 50 race is for all pilots that will turn 50 in 2025! Come on down to the main stage and listen to the MC Joe Scully playing some vinyl, don’t forget your hearing aids! This track is the same as the Spec Track so get your practice packs in before you arrive!

Call yourself a builder? In a first-of-it’s-kind race, International Open participants are invited to complete in the IO Build N’ Fly competition! Participants race against the clock and each other to be the fastest to build their quads from a kit of new, unopened parts, and be the first to successfully fly their quad through the track successfully.
Eric Gever and SegTech Solutions partnered with Five33 to bring this unique experience to the International Open!
Up to 24 participants will receive a full kit of brand new, in-package parts to build their entire drone for the competition. You must register by The kit will include high quality parts from popular drone racing vendors:
Once built, all participants will keep their drone and get to enjoy flying it for the rest of IO. Not only will this race be a ton of fun, but this is by far the cheapest way to build a quality new drone that you can use for the rest of the event!
The IO Build N Fly Competition will be held at the All Skills Track from 6pm-8pm Thursday, June 12. Bring your own tools, batteries, radios, and goggles to the track, and your kit will have all the parts you need to build the drone for this competition.
