Reasoning

The four colors were: Blue, Green, Red, Yellow.

The four contestants were: Adrian, Alex, Andy, Avery.

By (4), second place was Green, and owned by Alex.

   1

   2    Alex           green

   3

   4

By (5), Red beat third place, and since Green was second, Red must have been first (and had race number #3).

   1            #3     red

   2    Alex           green

   3

   4

By (2), Adrian's drone was Red or Green, but we now know that Alex's drone was Green, so Adrian's drone was Red.

   1    Adrian  #3     red

   2    Alex           green

   3

   4

By (3), Andy beat Avery, so they were third and fourth respectively.

   1    Adrian  #3     red

   2    Alex           green

   3    Andy

   4    Avery

By (6), Avery's drone had race number #1.

   1    Adrian  #3     red

   2    Alex           green

   3    Andy

   4    Avery   #1

By (1), second place must have had race number #2 (as first place had race number #3, and fourth place had race number #1).

   1    Adrian  #3     red

   2    Alex    #2     green

   3    Andy

   4    Avery   #1

Which leaves third place with race number #4, and by (4) was Blue.

   1    Adrian  #3     red

   2    Alex    #2     green

   3    Andy    #4     blue

   4    Avery   #1

Which leaves fourth place as Yellow.

   1    Adrian  #3     red

   2    Alex    #2     green

   3    Andy    #4     blue

   4    Avery   #1     yellow
