2nd place - Oleksandr Mazur, pilot from Borispol, member of Kyiv QuadRAT team. He took the third place in the Kherson stage and the second place in the final Kyiv stage, but according to the total number of points he got silver in UADR Challenge 2018.
3rd place went to Vyacheslav Gordienko from Air's Crew Zaporozhye. Despite the fact that the third place was shared by 3 competitors at once - Vyacheslav Gordienko, Igor Butseroga and Ivan Oleynik, it was Vyacheslav who got the lucky ticket, as he won the Kharkiv stage without any reservations, and the other two pilots could not win in any of the stages. It is worth mentioning that a member of Air's Crew is Nikolay Podakov, who became the winner of the Ukrainian Drone Racing Championship in 2017.

In the team competition, as well as last year, the most numerous QuadRAT team won, and Zipper Team and Air's Crew simply swapped places, respectively taking the 2nd and 3rd place.
