After our first course in the forests of East Grinstead, we bring you to the urban jungle that is Whitechapel, London. It’s back to the 1940s, with our destroyed village we’re calling home to the Battle of Britain. Not only is it the first Central London FPV Race, it’s also the first qualifying event for the 2016 BFPVRA Nationals, with all 4 semi-finalists qualifying.

This takes place on the 18th October 2015
