The IFMAR World Championship for 1:10 200mm IC Touring Car cars (also known as "IFMAR Nitro Touring Car World Championship"), is a world championship radio controlled car race hosted by IFMAR. It takes place biennially on even years since 2004, after a provisional

The championship round is run as part of the annual electric cars double bill following the 1:12 on-road round since it began in 1998 but on even years, unlike its off-road counterpart.

The event is open exclusively to 1:10 scale electric touring cars, widely known as ISTC (International Scale Touring Car‎), characterized by its resemblance to road saloon cars found in touring car racing and its overall width cannot be more than 200mm wide, per title. The cars are powered by an engine that is a maximum of 0.12 ci, unlike its short lived 235mm counterpart

Introduced in 2002 as a World Cup race supporting the IFMAR 1:10 IC Track World Championship but as it became a World Championship race in 2004, the 235mm wide counterpart

due to lack of interests.



The chassis is based on its off-road counterpart, except with shorter travel suspension, narrower and taller wheels and rubber tires to its now defunct PRO 10 counterpart.

Kyosho and XRAY, holds distinction for the most wins for manufacturers with two each; its driver, no driver has achieved more than one win.

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].
