The TBS Main Stage track is designed for pilots of all skill levels to enjoy, yet a little more special than a local track.  This year Adrian ‘Adrone’ Adams was picked for this honor.  His track features a similar feature from the Sharjah Drone Racing Champions track involving a dive from the top of the triple gate to the bottom of the triple gate.   This track will be flown by rookies and elite pilots in many different races throughout the week.

You don’t have to wait until IO to get packs on this track!!  Try it now on Velocidrone, the official simulator of MultiGP.
