Drone Racing in Japan: Wednesday Tokyo Whoopers
Today I'm in Japan and I'm off to meet some Tiny Whoopers who have a drone race organised to see if I can take part. Mai kindly sent me the location, and two short train rides—and a lot of faffing about in between—landed me in the Tokyo suburbs, wandering around in the rain. Try as I might, walking up and down the right bit of street, I could not find Studio316.

BTW League - Race #5
This was the final event in the BTW League for 2025/26 season. The final opportunity to score those all important BTW points in the league table. And all pilots came out swinging, giving it their very best right to the end, with a result no one expected! With an early start and a new track this one had some unique features. One of which I will definitely be copying for future races. It was a rising and expanding diameter spiral which means you could see quite far ahead of you

The room needed a bit of hoover loving to make it race worthy (not like that) and with Jayson's train cancelled due to its unsurprising unreliability, I was rushing around to get things ready and pick him up. But with the crumbs contained and Beryl onboard we arrived to find Blueprint et al starting to set up the track. And with a bit of help we soon had an absolute cracker of a track, ready for the rac
