Martin Achter provisional pole - 2009 IFMAR Worlds
Well, the 2009 IFMAR World Championships is already underway and in case you didn't realise - the event isn't attended by most large manufacturers in any capacity - a real shame for the sport which ever way you look at it.
Our man Martin Achter from Germany has been sending some reports and photos back - along with local hero Stefan Fourie. We've still got some things to finish off on the report before we upload the initial stuff - which we'll then try to keep up to date. Over night going into the final day of the 2WD championship it's Martin Achter in provisional pole position with two round wins with 4/5 of the qualifiers run. Only Albert Claassens and Australias Craig Laughton can steal the TQ away from Martin. More to come tomorrow - when the new IFMAR World Champion is crowned.

Most
Most Worlds will be remembered for the top 10 being seperated by a couple of seconds.
This one will be remembered for the top 10 being seperated by a couple of laps I feel sorry for the guy who win's

I know they like going to Japan and the US all the time but when they do decide to do the world they pick the wrong countries. A monkey could have made a better decision.
I thought I would have some fun today and thought what the heck lets annoy IMAR, I mean I'm no longer doing the nats and havent seriously raced for eight years so wont be qualifying for the worlds so who cares. So I sent an email to the Ifmar president saying that they are now a laughing stock, and whoever made this decision should be removed. I also said a few more little things just for the heck of it.

Dallas won't really mind your email... The decision for which country to run the worlds in is a rotational one always jumping from one regional organisation to another...

Such a shame for the sport - i remember really looking forward to the Worlds everytime but this is a complete joke
How can it go from being such a big event only 2 years ago to such a poor excuse for a world championship??? Dark day for 1/10th off road whichever way you look at it! |

Truth be told, it was the FAMAR region that chose the track, and when you consider the options open to them (member countries:Argentina ,

Like has been said before, the worlds rotates through all the IFMAR member blocks. EFRA, FEMCA?(japan etc), FAMAR, ROAR - and I think that's the order as well. So if i have it right, it's USA next time and then EFRA again. If the UK wanted it, BRCA would have to ask for it when it came round to EFRA next.
The last "big" off road race that BRCA held was Euros in Tiverton in something like 04 ish.

Ok so yes I would rather race in SA instead of Venezuela, as I was rather scared that I wasnt going to get out alive when I was there. Horrible place due to the mad man of a dictator and his military rule. Every shot you heard was a death and they bullets were flying on the two weeks I was there.
