IFMAR Worlds can now be held on Astroturf
3 out of the 4 blocks that represent IFMAR have voted in favour of a rule change to the following:
The track surface can be dirt, or else partially or entirely covered with artificial turf. (Commonly referred to as Astro turf) Other materials can be used in sections of the track such as table tops and jumps to assure the durability of those sections for the entire event. Such other materials must be limited to less than 20% of the total track length. Dirt sections should be of screened top soil / clay free from rocks and debris with only a minimum amount of sand and hard packed to provide a durable consistent racing surface for the duration of the event. EFRA FAMAR FEMCA ROAR Yes Yes Yes No It now looks likely Yatabe will take advantage of this and host the 2015 Worlds on Astroturf. Could it potentially mean that the UK might be more well placed or likely to host a worlds in the future? Will there be a reduced team from USA as it isn't their favoured surface? Will more tracks in the US adopt or experiment with astroturf? http://news.efra.ws/fileadmin/news/2...ange%20(1).pdf

Be good for the UK stand more of a chance to host a worlds.And good news for our top drivers. But personally hate astro,Undrstand the advantages of it regards consistency and weather conditions.But to see an ideal venue like Yatabe astro an indoor dirt track
 What the Americans think of this will be interesting, as james says some may not even bother

Just been talking about this subject as regards to the new Yokomo 2wd. Looks like the worlds this year are going to be very interesting.
