Rules

FPV Racing is new, and the rules become ever evolving. This is our start of our Rules and Regulations.

Official Rules and Regulations are as posted at each race.

RULES AND REGULATIONS
Preface
FPV Racing Events and Today’s Race Director want to ensure a SAFE and Fun Experience

All participants and spectators must be aware of and adhere to the following regulations for RACEDAY.

ALL ATTENDEES:
  1. Do Not Enter the Racing area (rope lines/chalk/cones/netting) until the Session/Heat/Race has expired!
  2. Course will only be open between heats for less than 5 minutes.
  3. Be Aware of All Restrooms and Fire Extinguishers.
  4. Do not fly or power-up any object to be controlled remotely without approval from the Race Director. Hovering in the pits (with VTX Disconnected) must be done safely, and not exceeding a 5′ distance from the Pilot and 5′ distance from the ground.
  5. Do not enter the Flight Line unless it is your time to race, prepare to stage (mount equipment the race prior to yours) or spot. Only registered pilots may enter the Flight Line during these timeframes.
  6. If you are injured, please immediately bring it to the attention of the Race Director.
RACE FORMAT:
  1. Advertised/Posted Formats and schedules may be modified at the discretion of the Race Director. To contribute to a “full program”, ensure that you are prompt and punctual before, during and after your heat(s), and aware of what race is on the track.
  2. RaceDay may consist of 1 practice round, a minimum of 1 qualifying round, and a championship main round.
  3. Practice Sessions will be 2/3 minutes in duration. If utilized to seed the first Qualifier Round, each pilot’s fastest individual lap per class will be used.
  4. Qualifiers will be 2/3 minutes in duration. If more than one Qualifying Round is offered, “Rocket Round” will be used to select each pilot’s fastest Qualifying Time (# of Laps recorded within the designated time period, i.e. 7 laps in 3:13.609)
  5. When more than one Championship Main is on the schedule, there should be transfer or bump-up positions. These will be announced as final between qualifying and the mains. (i.e. Top 2 from the B-main instantly qualify for the A-main)
  6. RaceDay Programming is designed to afford as even of an amount of flight time per pilot as possible, regardless of skill.
CLASSIFICATION:
  1. Micros – 4″ Props
  2. 5″ Props / 3S / 220mm Minimum Wheelspan
  3. 5″ Props / 4S / 220mm Minimum Wheelspan
  4. Open (Run What You Brung)

  11. DO NOT POWER UP VIDEO UNTIL DIRECTED BY FLIGHT LINE DIRECTOR OR RACE DIRECTOR. THIS WILL BE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE YOUR RACE.
  12. Place your craft on the take-off zone when directed. Power up video on the take-off zone only. Go to assigned position in Flight Line.
  13. Tone starts will be in place.
  14. Do Not Do Extra Laps. Do not “freestyle” above spectators or other pilots.
  15. Do not fly your craft anywhere but on the race track or designated line of site flying areas.
  16. A 60′ Ceiling is in place. Do not exceed it. Failure to do so will result in Disqualification.
  17. Keep your LiPo in a LiPo Sack if under cover or indoors. Failure to do so will result in Disqualification.
  18. Missed gates result in 10-second penalties.
  19. Do not enter the raceway following the start of the race, unless approved by the Flight Line Director or Race Director.
  20. Once you are done racing and the race is over, retrieve your craft, gently remove VTX/Transponder, and return to your assigned seat to spot the next race. You will have 3 minutes or less to return to your seat. All Pilots are required to Spot. Failure to do so will result in penalties.
  21. Important Commands:
    1. “On the tone in less than 5” – command prior to a tone start.
    2. “3, 2, 1, Go” – in lieu of a tone start
    3. “Stop, Drop or Hover” – immediately cease forward direction. Save your craft as best as possible.
  22. Proper sportsmanship and conduct is to be exemplified. Examples of poor conduct would include, but are not limited to: affecting another Pilot’s Race or Equipment by speech or any sort of tampering or aggressive behaviour.
  23. Penalties – First Time May Be a Warning unless stated otherwise, 2nd: Lose your fastest qualifier / podium placing, 3rd: Exit
  24. No harassment of officials, pilots, sponsors or spectators will be tolerated.

  2. It is every Pilot’s responsibility to ensure that their spotting responsibility is covered. If you are unable to spot, provide a spotter in your place. If the Race Officials have to supply a spotter in your absence, you WILL be penalized.
  3. Spotters will count missed gates (via tally) for their assigned pilot.
  4. Following the heat, the Spotter will inform the Racer and the Flight Line Director of any penalties.
  5. Any grievances will be settled by the Flight Line Director and/or Race Director.
    1. If a DVR Video Replay system is supplied by management, the Racer may request a Video Review via the Video Review Process.
    2. The Racer will notify the Flight Line Director and/or Race Director of his request, and provide a $50 Video Review Fee.
    3. The Race Director will inform the Racer of the time the Video Review will take place.
    4. The Flight Line Director and/or Race Director will review the race, and inform the Racer of their decision.
    5. If the Video Review is deemed in the Racers Favour, the $50 Video Review Fee is returned to the Racer.
  6. Any discrepancy regarding the printed results are to be brought to the Race Director’s attention via written claim.
  7. Results will be deemed final following 30 minutes of posting.
TIMING AND SCORING:
  1. A Transponder System will be in place where available. Alternatively a Hand Scored Spotter System (via RC Scoring Pro) will be used, as an additional responsibility of the spotter.
  2. Racers may use their own Transponder. This number must be provided to the Race Director at Registration. Race Management is not responsible for any malfunction of a Pilot’s personal transponders.
  3. Spotters are to track missed gates, to be recorded as 10 second penalties before results are final.
RE-RACES, RE-STARTS:
  1. If a Racer is fouled due to reasons outside of their control (lost video, crashed into at the start of a race, major scoring discrepancy, etc.) the Flight Line Director and/or Race Director may offer a Re-Race.
  2. If a race is started and was not deemed clean or fair (i.e. lost video for a number of racers, object on the track, etc.), a Re-Start may be called by the Race Director.
  3. Re-Starts will either happen right away, only following a majority vote of the racers in that heat, or as late as possible in the program (i.e. the end of the round, or immediately before the next-higher main).
  4. Re-Races will be run at the end of the round. In Practice or Qualifying, these may be all classes combined.
Race Management Supplied Transponder Installation and Use:
An iLaps Drone Model Transponder will be supplied by Race Management. Please mount it in a safe place on your craft, and attach it to an open 5V Channel. Alternatively, if you do not have an open 5V Channel, attaching to a second LiPo and using spare pins (Pin-to-Pin) is acceptable.

Race Management Supplied VTX Installation and Use:
Pilots operating FPV transmitters at this event will be handed Immersion Raceband FPV transmitters operating on 5.8Ghz band allocated for amateur radio use. Pilots DO NOT have the right to change frequencies, neither to use any transmission devices other than the VTX’s handed to them by the VTX Director. All other video transmitters will be grounded or impounded impounded for the duration of the event.

The only frequencies used in the race will be the 5.8Ghz Raceband frequencies, on 25mW or 250mW transmitters (which of these two will be determined later. The VTX Director is responsible for making sure the Raceband transmitters operate within the frequencies allocated and that these do not exceed the power levels of the allocated/allowed.

Race setup
There will be a total of 8 flying stations. During the test races we might decide to roll less than 8 pilots in a race to allow better frequency separation in case we detect issues with interferences or certain frequencies not performing well. The 8 flight stations will be set up before the race, the pilots can bring their own goggles to connect it to the diversity receivers at each flight station.

Each of the 8 stations will have its own frequency allocated and should not be changed throughout the race. The frequencies will be as follows:

Station
1 Station
2 Station
3 Station
4 Station
5 Station
6 Station
7 Station
8
5658MHz
RH 5695MHz
LH 5732Mhz
RH 5769Mhz
LH 5806MHz
RH 5843MHz
LH 5880MHz
RH 5917MHz
LH
For best performance, the transmission polarity will be alternated from one station to the next.

These frequencies will be used exclusively for racing at this event.

Goggle Requirements
Please note at this time we do not know if we will be able to provide goggles or not at every station. Our recommendation is that everybody will need to bring and use their own goggles for racing. The video feed provided will be through a standard Fatshark/Immersion AV cable terminated in a 4 position 3.5mm jack. The pinout for attaching your own goggles (if not Fatshark) is displayed below:



If your goggles receive a composite (yellow video, red audio left, white audio right) input, please provide your own cable, as the Immersion RC Raceband Station also offers a Female Composite Out.

Transmitter Pinout Requirements:
To attach the transmitter provided by the VTX director to your racing quad, standard ImmersionRC type 5 position Molex type connectors will be used, just like in the picture below. The cable connector set is composed of 2 different connectors.


One is a 2 position Molex connector supplying power to the video transmitter (VTX). The Black is ground (battery negative) and the red is the positive voltage coming from your battery, up to 16V. The second is a 5 position connector and the signal pins are as follows: RED – +5V out from the transmitter, supplying power to the camera, BLACK – ground connection, YELLOW – Video signal coming from the camera, WHITE – Audio left, GREEN – Audio right. Depending on what type of camera you are using the schematic of connecting the camera will change.

For 5V Cameras:
If you use 5V cameras from Fatshark – or with cables compatible with them, you can just simply plug those in to the transmitter. In this case your camera already comes with a connector matching the transmitter. For any other 5V cameras, if you do not have one, you can purchase an Immersion RC wIre-set from here and wire it up yo your camera as the signal lines describe below:


From the 5 Pin connector: You will need the RED – 5V to power your camera, BLACK – ground to the camera, YELLOW – video signal from your camera. You can ignore the audio signals if you do not have them.

From the 2 Pin connector: You will need to wire up the RED to your battery positive lead and the BLACK to your battery ground lead – with this supplying battery power to the VTX.

For 12V cameras:
In case you use a 12V camera for your setup, you cannot use the RED (+5V) supply line form the transmitter to power your camera. In this case your camera will have to be powered separately, and you only needc to bring in the Video and Ground signal to the raceband VTX:

As you can see the camera power is not even represented on this image due to the fact that is separately handled on your own installation. On the 5 pin Molex connector the only two signal lines required are the Video out from your camera (YELLOW) and the ground (BLACK). On the two pin connector the RED is connected to your battery positive lead and the BLACK is connected to your battery ground.

All transmitters will be provided with strong Velcro strips attached, and mating patches will be provided for each quads.

TRADITIONAL 4-UP SIGNAL ASSIGNMENT:
In an occasion that calls for traditional signal assignment, the following Signal Assignments will be used:

Season Opener Recap

A Barnburner of a start to the Winter Barnburner Drone Racing Series presented by ReadyMadeRC!



The debut of the series took FPV Racing Events back to REACH Huron where it all started 11 months ago, and what a difference a year has made. Utilizing the new FPV Racing Events AirGates, a big and sweepy course was built featuring 5 gates, two comprising a tunnel, and the layout went as:

  • ReadyMadeRC Start/Finish Line


  • ImmersionRC Over


  • New Generations Hobbies "Keep it Honest" Gate in the Sweeper


  • SUPERCROSS! Section
  • International Horseshoe (inside a Horse Arena!)
  • Scorpion Power Systems Tunnel







This event also marked the debut of the LandsharkDP Ground Station (or "Super Base Station") in Canada, though enhanced with TrueRC X2 Air antennae. These industry leading receivers are provided by: Immersion RC, DPCAV, ReadyMadeRC and TrueRC, and proved themselves and then some at the Season Opener of the Winter Barnburner Drone Racing Series presented by ReadyMadeRC. The venue has steel trusses, with each end-wall covered in steel; normally providing RF issues as seen 11 months previously with racers flying solely with goggles in the middle of the venue. The LandsharkDPX2 had the flightline at the far end of the venue, provided solid VRX coverage, and allowed for heats of EIGHT (8) flying INDOORS (a very uncommon thing).







To kick-off the series with excitement, Day #1 Team Blacksheep gave away a full TBS Gemini to the winner of the "Who Has More Fun Than Us" Class Race, and Scorpion Power Systems provided 6 pilots with Full Sets of SPS Motors for their crafts, plus lots of give-aways to best crash, etc.



Saturday Night included a Freestyle competition and Karaoke.



Sunday brought the first points races of 2016, and the day was filled with exciting battles and intense racing.

Million Dollar Drone Race in Dubai Pre-Qualifier THIS WEEKEND here in Canada!



We have your ticket to the Million Dollar Drone Race in Dubai, come claim it this weekend in Simcoe, Ontario!





The World Drone Prix has announced the qualification process to select the 32 Teams to run at their share of a 1-Million-Dollar Prize, and it's designed to open up eligibility to the World: Every Pilot/Team is to submit a Video of them flying a World Drone Prix approved course, and they will be judged on the criteria. Every member of the 32 selected teams will receive airfare, accommodations and VIP at the World Drone Prix this March in Dubai, UAE.





FPV Racing Events wants to give you the best possible "set" to record your video, so we are building the World Drone Prix Track #2, and dedicating Saturday, February 6th as a day to pre-qualify to the Million Dollar World Drone Prix.





Of course we will be putting our twist on it: we will actually recreate the actual race; which means your "bonus footage" component should be off the chain.





You do not need an entire team for the video pre-qualifier, however, we will be creating impromptu teams for the World Drone Prix Race Re-creation (assigned co-pilots for qualifying, selected for the Championship)
