IFMAR Releases the 2027 World Championship Calendar
IFMAR has posted its 2027 World Championship calendar: four Worlds from July to October, including 1/10 electric off-road in Slovakia and 1/8 electric off-road in Florida.
Start planning your 2027 now. IFMAR, the world governing body for RC car racing, has posted its 2027 World Championship calendar on its official site. There are four Worlds on it, running from late July to early October.
2027 IFMAR World Championships:
- July 25–31: 1/8 GT Track, IC and GTe, Lostallo, Switzerland
- August 29–September 4: 1/10 Electric Off-Road, Hudy Arena, Trencin, Slovakia
- September 2–12: 1/8 IC Track, Fiorano, Italy
- September 29–October 3: 1/8 Electric Off-Road, Gateway RC, Lake City, Florida, USA
For our off-road crowd, two dates matter most. The 1/10 electric off-road Worlds heads to Trencin, Slovakia, at the end of August, at the Hudy Arena. Then the 1/8 electric off-road Worlds comes to Lake City, Florida, from September 29 to October 3, at Gateway RC. That means another e-buggy Worlds on American soil, and a real shot for US drivers to race for a world title close to home.
One thing nitro fans will notice: the calendar IFMAR has posted so far doesn't include a 1/8 nitro off-road Worlds for 2027. The 2026 1/8 IC off-road Worlds was just run in Thornhill, Texas. IFMAR says more information is coming in the next few weeks, and drivers who want to enter should contact their country or bloc representative. IFMAR has posted the Stage 1 report for Lostallo and says the reports for the other three events are coming soon, so expect more details on entries and procedures.
What do you think? Who's making the trip to Florida for the e-buggy Worlds? Let us know on the podcast!
