The Grid is Set! Meet the Finalists for the 3rd FAI World Virtual Sailplane Grand Prix Final

January 1, 2026 - The road to the 3rd FAI Virtual Sailplane Grand Prix World Final has been long, challenging, and incredibly competitive. After a series of intense Continental Qualifiers throughout the year, 16 elite pilots had already booked their tickets to the main event.

But four spots remained.

In December, the World Qualifying Event (WQE) offered one last, high-stakes chance for the world's top virtual soaring talent to claim their place on the grid. The pressure was immense, the racing was tight, and the results are finally in.

The Final Four

We are thrilled to announce the four pilots who survived the gauntlet of the WQE to secure the final berths for the World Virtual SGP Finals in 2026:

  • πŸ‡­πŸ‡Ί CN – Norbert Kiss (Hungary) | 3,777.78 pts

  • πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± A33 – Artur Dziuk (Poland) | 3,750.79 pts

  • πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± KJ – Kuba Jedruszkiewicz (Poland) | 2,607.14 pts

  • πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ K12 – Doug Krzywdzinski (USA) | 2,281.75 pts

These four pilots demonstrated incredible consistency and nerve under pressure. They now join a roster of champions, creating what is arguably the one of the most competitive grid in virtual gliding history.

The Full World Final Roster

With the WQE concluded, the starting grid for the 3rd FAI World VSGP Final is officially complete. Here are the 20 pilots who will battle for the ultimate title:
