WorldDroneCupItaly 2025 has officially wrapped—and we’re still buzzing from the adrenaline, the energy, and the talent that lit up the skies of Albizzate. From epic 5″ battles to the intense Night Endurance Cup, this year’s edition raised the bar for drone racing in Italy!

🏆 Heartfelt Thanks to Everyone Who Made It Happen

This event wouldn’t exist without the people and teams who poured their passion into every second of preparation and execution.

To our partners and supporters:

🍕 SpeedyPizzaDrones and 🇳🇱 Dutch Drone Racing – your relentless support, top-tier logistics, and race know-how made this all possible.

🏛️ Comune di Albizzate – gratitude to Mayor Mirko Zorzo and the municipality for believing in this project and giving drone racing a true home.

👷‍♀️👷‍♂️ The volunteers – From early setup to last-minute fixes and pilot checks, your energy and dedication kept the whole engine running.

🌍 Pilots from around the world – thank you for flying in (literally and figuratively) to make this an international spectacle. Your passion is what makes this community so unique.

🔥 Race Highlights – What. A. Show.

From the very first packs to the final lap of the Night Endurance Cup, WorldDroneCupItaly 2025 delivered a weekend we’ll never forget.

We had 75 pilots from 22 nations on the grid this year. From seasoned pros to rising stars, the level of competition was absolutely next level.

The 5″ World Cup had it all: nail-biting duels, last-second passes, and crashes that made your heart stop. The grand final was an absolute battle — fast, clean, aggressive flying from some of the best in the world.

And then came the Night Endurance Cup. Teams pushing through one hour of low-light madness, LED-lit drones glowing in the dark, quick pit rotations, and real strategy. It wasn’t just about speed — it was about teamwork, consistency, and staying cool under pressure. Every lap mattered.
