TheInternational Federation of Model Auto Racing (IFMAR) is the world governing body of professionalradio controlled car racing.
The organization was created in 1979 by professional racer and RC model entrepreneurTed Longshaw. At that time, many different governing bodies operated under their own rules throughout the world. IFMAR was conceived as a way to bring the different, fragmented organizations under a single, governing body. IFMAR's constitution also promotes international friendship and sportsmanship.
Each of the member blocs organises the IFMAR World Championship event on behalf of IFMAR.
Masami Hirosaka is perhaps the world's most distinguished racer. He has a record of 14 IFMAR World Championships, followed by Lamberto Collari with 9 titles, all within a single category and in nitro powered cars.
IFMAR governs RC racing through four international governing bodies, or "blocs" representing 45 member nations and with full voting rights:
| # | Name | Nationality | Term |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Ted Longshaw |  United Kingdom | 1979–1995 |
| 2 | John D. Grant |  Australia | 1995–2005 |
| 3 | Erhard "Dallas" Mathiesen |  Sweden | 2005–2018 |
| 4 | Jeff Parker |  United States | 2018–2023 |
| 5 | Eric Anderson[1] | United States | 2023– |
To be allowed to compete in an IFMAR World Championship event, the competitor has to be a member of a national body (such as ROAR of North America, SARDA from South Africa,BRCA from the United Kingdom, etc.). The competitor has to contact a representative of the body who will determine if they are competent enough to compete in the world championship round.[2] The driver does not specifically have to have qualified in that discipline in which they choose to race (e.g. a driver who is competent in 1:10 on road racing wishes to qualify for 1:8 off-road).[2]
The following Worlds are held bi annually by IFMAR.
