Let's get confirmation that the proposed host bloc has declined before getting into the whys and the wherefores of Australia hosting.

In the end , if FEMCA is up for it again then it's the governing body (AARCMCC) that should do the first-up expression of interest. We have already proven by this thread that there is support for it........then it's up to the clubs to "bid" for the event.

That's the way I figure it , anyhow

Interesting point well time will tell.

Some where like parramatta stadium or Homebush would be ideal. Half the field for track and other half for Pitts and other stuff . Eg traders , food stalls . As to who pays . Ummm that's a toughy . But I would pay to go spectate .

I think over the GP weekend is a good idea to explore - they have plenty of space and exposure would be high if inside the track.

They set up temporary stuff for skateboarding and motocross etc, so setting up a track shouldn't be impossible.

One snag is the length of the meet, plus also the cost to people who want to watch the RC only. Paying for a GP gen admission to see big toy cars go vroom when you only want to see little toy cars would suck.

Inside the GP precinct would be a bad idea IMO - too costly to set up , almost impossible for Non-GP RC types to attend and just plain inconvenient.

Somewhere like Hisense Arena or even Margaret Court Arena would be suitable - the Showgrounds equally as good

I still think we need to wait before this kicks into any gear above first....

I have said for while now, that you need an old Bunnings or warehouse like that. Plus you don't just build the track in the last month or so before the event, it needs to be there >3 months if not 6 months or more for a Worlds, plus it is virtually a year long event to organise it

Here are the rules around rotation of World Title events.

1.5.2
Twenty five (25) months prior to an IFMAR World Championship, the Bloc next on the rotation list will be invited by IFMAR to apply to host the World Championship. The invited Bloc will have a maximum of one (1 month to accept or decline this invitation.

At eighteen (18) months, the Bloc must provide information on the venue and the organisational capabilities of the prospective organiser being considered. The information must be as extensive as possible covering the most of aspects of the Stage 1 report. If the proposed venue is not acceptable to IFMAR, the Bloc will be advised within one (1)month and will then be invited to select another venue more suited to IFMAR’s requirements.

The Bloc must then submit details of an alternate venue within one (1) month of such notice by IFMAR. If an acceptable venue is not proposed within that one (1) month, the World Championship event will automatically be offered to the previous Bloc on the corresponding rotation list without losing its natural rotation order.

If for any reason, the accepting Bloc refuses to keep on with its assumed duty before the World Championship Contract is signed, (12 months prior to the event), the Fund Provision will be forfeited and transferred to the substitute organising Bloc.

The forfeited Funds Provision will be payable by IFMAR to the organising Bloc (whichever it may be) at the moment of the signing of the World Championship Contract. The host Bloc will be responsible to ensure that an IFMAR race organised within its region complies to all IFMAR rules and requirements and will oversee the organisation of the event. On the approval by IFMAR of the Bloc’s selected venue, a guarantee security deposit of $US1,000 will be payable by the Bloc to IFMAR and will be refundable, in full or in part, on the successful completion of the event as adjudged by the relative Executive Committee of IFMAR.


So we have to wait a month to see what eventuates in the rotation. AARCMCC is watching this space closely and in communication with FEMCA.

Hi Michael,

We were told at the worlds that FAMAR had declined the offer (25 months notice was 1 month before the worlds) and therefore it comes back to FEMCA for 2017. So is the process now that FEMCA make the decision to accept / decline?

I had a LOT of people at the worlds say that they would love to come and race on dirt in Australia for the next worlds, especially with the excitement around the next nitro buggy worlds being rumoured / confirmed for Australia. The general feeling at Yatabe was that very few wanted to see the event on astro again (also after the USA worlds, sugar tracks weren't popular either).

It would be incredible to have the worlds come to Australia (the last 3 FEMCA rotations have all been Japan) but there seems a very short space of time to get everything in place, especially if the decision on capability needs to be made 18 mths before (ie in 6 mths).

You beat me to it, Ray.

It would seem the ball is in FEMCA's court, perhaps unbeknown to them

Word on the grape vine is some clubs have put up their hand to run the worlds so lets keep our fingers crossed

Maybe a Victorian club could get in on the act too......ambitious , big member base , well established.

Ring any bells?
