The IFMAR World Championship for 1:12 Electric Track cars, is a world championship radio controlled car race hosted by IFMAR. It takes place biennially on even years since 1982 and since 2000, as a double bill preceding the ISTC Worlds. Prior to that, it took place alongside its PRO 10 counterpart between 1996 to 2000 and as standalone races up to 1994. A category for stock motors took place alongside its modified motors counterpart in 1982 and 1984.

The event is open exclusively to 1:12 scale electric powered track cars, also known as pan cars, characterized by its close resemblance to sports prototype racers like its 1:8 counterpart.

The races takes place either on asphalt or carpet circuits but since 2010, the event took place on a temporary venue separate to its larger touring car counterpart, on indoor venues using felt carpet as surface.

Until 1985 with the introduction of world championship 1:10 off-road racing, it was the only electric racing class in existence. Until 1992, was the only electric on-road class available.[1]

Schedule[edit]

A maximum of 100 drivers take part, each continental blocs allocated 20 entries each, the host bloc an extra 10 and the final 10 allocated by IFMAR themselves, usually through a pre-Worlds event.

The event take place over three days starting Monday with timed practice on day one, four qualifying heats on day two and for day three; two final qualifying sessions and race day over two heats.[N 1] After each qualifying session, the best qualifier of the round is awarded zero points, 2 and 3 points for the 2nd and 3rd fastest qualifier and so on with the most points given to the slowest qualifier, driver who do not score a time or is disqualified is thus awarded 500 points. Of six rounds or five in some circumstances that force a round be cancelled, the best three performances counts toward the driver's overall performance, two best rounds counts toward three or four rounds completed and one round count toward two or one rounds. After all the points is totalled up, the driver with the least points is the best qualifier, thus is awarded a TQ (Top Qualifier) award[4], enabling them to start in front of the first round.

The groups are then split into ten groups of ten drivers in alphabets, pending on their performance in qualifying with A being the fastest of the groups[4]

Race day starts with the slowest groups first, working its way to the next faster groups up to the fastest, the A-main, then progresses to the 2nd heat.[2]Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name (see the help page).. Each race run for a total of eight minutes with an extra 30 seconds to allow the driver to round their laps up[4].

Only the A-main, the group that carries the only hope of taking the world championship title, have three heats[5] with only two best performances that counts and a final practice in the afternoon during race day[4].
