In official competition, when in the last race of the day you snatch the 11th and penultimate place in the 2022 Drone Racing French Championship Final!

I am extremely proud to have been able to participate in a final of the Drone Racing French Championship.

I was able to cross swords (i.e. the propellers) with the reigning world champion of the World Games and distinguished French pilots (young and less young): it was mainly them who crossed paths with me (taking several rounds each time by the way).

Most importantly, I competed at the same time as my son: what an emotion to know that I was online ready to start for this competition with my son right next to me, not as a spotter but as a competitor.

The public has been great with me and I thank them and @Bear.Racer for that :-)

If you are still wondering how I snatched the 11th place then let me tell you: I did my race, I have been patient, I showed a strong mind, I had a very good spotter and of course I had a piece of luck :-)
