History
This system was developed to assist the Velocidrone championship of the whatsapp group Simuladores Drone Racing.
This group was created by ZediFPV on January 5, 2018 in order to unite the pilots of drone simulators in one place.
To access the group you can contact us through with sbrfpv@gmail.com.
Operation
From Monday to Sunday, riders can, at any time, run races on the chosen circuit for the current week.
Every pilot who has time registered on the Velocidrone leaderboard for the week's circuit is automatically participating in the championship.
If the pilot does not want his time to appear in the system's time lap list or does not want to participate in the championship, he can hide the time lap in the menu Profile.
Note: On Sunday at 12am (midnight), the pilot with the hidden time is considered a non-participating pilot and does not receive any points.
We have 3 types of classifications, they are:
Faster Lap
To compete in the fastest lap classification, the pilot must, when choosing the circuit of the week, running in Single Player or Multiplayer mode, choose the type of game Single Class - Laps and the number of laps equal to 1.
Once the pilot has completed his lap, the game will display the race time and the Upload button* will be displayed so that his time is sent to the game's leaderboard.
There are situations where manual submission times are required, they are:
- Communication failure with the velocidrone server
- Be very close to or after 200 positions in the Velocidrone ranking
- Fastest lap performed within Single Class - Three Lap Race
- Fastest lap performed within Nemesis
For the image to be considered valid, it must meet at least 1 of the requirements below:
1 - Have the Upload button that proves the Single Class game mode
2 - Leaderboard Update table with fastest lap time
3 - Have the Leaderboard Update table next to the fastest lap time
4 - Have the Nemesis pilots list along with the fastest lap time
To send time manually, click here (login required).
* If the fastest lap time is longer than another time already sent, the button for sending time is not displayed. To set up automatic time sending, click here.
Three Laps
To compete in the three laps classification, the pilot must, when choosing the circuit of the week, running in Single Player or Multiplayer mode, choose the type of game Single Class - Three Lap Race.
The other way to participate in the classification of the three laps, is to choose the race option Nemesis.
Once the pilot has completed his three laps, the game will display the race time and the Upload button* will be displayed so that his time is sent to the game's leaderboard.
There are situations where manual submission times are required, they are:
- Communication failure with the velocidrone server

At the end of the vote, if the circuit is not chosen as the circuit of the week, it will remain registered in the system and will automatically enter as a suggestion for the next vote.

Choice of circuit
On Sunday, from 00:01 until 23:59, any user, registered or not in the system, can vote for one of the suggested circuits to be the circuit of the week.
At 00:01 on Monday the circuit with the highest number of votes is automatically selected as the circuit of the week and removed from the list of circuits to be suggested for next week's vote.
If there is a tie between the circuits, the system does not perform any operation. In this case, the vote remains open until a tiebreak vote occurs. As soon as the vote is taken, voting is over and the week's circuit is available for the week's competition.
