subscriptions, can never be allowed at the start of those races.
1.3.
THE TWO CLASSES OF RACERS (PROS & SEMI-PROS)
(1) PROS - Experts
are racers having won more than 120 IOC-points
in the course of their career.
(2)
SEMI-PROS - Semi--pros are racers having won less than 120 IOC-points in their career.
Except for maximum 2 racers receiving a wild card, no SEMI-PRO can enter the
SEMI-PRO Worlds if ranked lower than #500 of the IOC-list at the end of the
previous year.
(3) ENDURANCE WORLDS & SEMI-PROS -
A limited number of
never more than 25 SEMI-PROs are allowed to enter the Endurance World
Championship. It concerns (i) the racers having finished in the top-3 art
the endurance race at the SEMI-PRO World Championship of the previous year (for
2011: the SEMI-PRO racers having finished in the top-3 of the 2010 Endurance
Worlds with GT2 cars) irrespective of their ranking on the IOC list and (ii)

1.6.
IOC-RACES AND ATTRIBUTION OF IOC POINTS
(1) THE PARITY PRINCIPLE - Up from 2009
there is again an equal number of international races where IOC-points (I.O.C. =
International Overall Classification) can be won: 14 for wing car races,
14 for scale car races and 14 for model car races. In none of the three
specialities there can be more than three races of level 1 with res. 30,
22.5, 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, 4.5, 3 and 1.5 IOC points for top-10 finishers. If
there are three races of level 1 there must be also three races of level 3 where
top-10 finishers win res. 10, 7.5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.5, 1 and 0.5 IOC points.
If there are only two races of level 1 in a speciality (wing,
scale or model) there are automatically only two races of level 3 in that same
speciality. That also implies that there are yearly eight level 2 races per
speciality if there are only two level 1 races for that speciality, and there
are four level 2 races per speciality if there are three level 1 races in the
same speciality. At level 2 top-10 finishers win res. 20, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6,
4, 3, 2 and 1 IOC-points. (2) ANNUAL LIST OF IOC-RACES - At least one
month before the start a new season the complete list of the 42 ( = 3 x 14)
IOC-events and their level is published at the IOC web-site. [For 2010 it are
the races mentioned here.]
No points can be attributed if there are less than 16 racers.
(c) RACES NOT IN THE ANNUAL LIST REWARDED WITH IOC-POINTS - A race not in the
list mentioned at art. 1.6.b can be rewarded nevertheless with the same IOC
points as a level 3 races if there are at least 6 world champions at the start having won
together at least 8 official world championships. They are rewarded at level 2 if
there are at least 6 world champions at the start having won together at least
16 official world
championships. They are rewarded at level 1 if there are at least 12 world
champions at the
start having won together more than 24 official world championships. Click here
for the list with official world champions.
1.7.
MONEY INCENTIVES AT THE IMCA NATS
Except for top-racers there
are no longer money incentives for European IMCA racers. Non-European racers
coming from overseas can receive a travelling incentive of maximum € 750.00.

THE
SHIRTS
At
IMCA
races
all
entrants
will
always
receive one or two
t-shirts with the racer's name and with his national flag on the front
side. Those shirts are obligatory at all races of the IMCA Nats. This shirts
are given for free.
4.2.
OBLIGED

have
to
keep
this
shirts
until
the
end
of
the
prize
giving
ceremonial.

giving will be struck out from all results! Except if allowed by the race
direction, showing at the prize giving with someone else's t-shirt will be
sanctioned in the same way.
Art. 5: COMMON RULES AT
IMCA
MODEL CAR EVENTS
5.1.
BASIC
PRINCIPLE
OF
MARSHALLING,
LANE
ROTATION
&
ENCLOSED
ZONE
(1)
THE
MARSHALS
- All
marshalling
is
exclusively
done
by
the
racers
of
the
previous
heat,
the racers of the last heat being marshal at the first series.
Only
marshals
can
touch
a deslotted
car.
This
principle
doesn't
hold
for
cars
deslotting
in
front
of
the
drivers
stands. (2) MARSHALLING DURING THE NIGHT AND LOCAL LAWS ON MINORS - In
several countries its NOT allowed that racers younger than full 18 years should
compete during the whole night. Where such law is the case marshalling at the
night section is to be done by the team mate(s) so that 6 hours of sleep
is guaranteed for everybody.
(3) BAD
MARSHALLING
&
YELLING -
Putting
a
car
on
a
wrong
lane
costs
at
least
5
laps at sprint races or 40 laps at endurance races. The same
principle holds for marshals putting a car in the wrong section at rotation. Should it be obvious that the error
concerning the lane or the section was intentioned the marshal is
excluded.
Holding up a concurrent's car deslotting in front of the driver's stand is
sanctioned as above with 5 or 40 laps. The
race
director
has
always
the
right
to
replace
a
too
slow
marshal
by
someone
else.
Yelling
at
the
marshals
is
sanctioned
in
3
steps
by
warning,
5
laps
and
exclusion. If several cars deslot at the same place, the first in the
provisional ranking has to be put as first in the slot, etc. Here too sanction
is 5 or 40 laps for the marshal (and his team) having not respected the
rule.
(4)
LANE
ROTATION
AT
MODEL
CAR
RACES is
done
by
those
marshals
being
the
closest
to
the
cars.
They
change
the
lane
stickers
and
put
within
the minute
the car(s) on their new lane. There
is
absolutely
no
work
on
the
cars
during
rotation
on
sanction
of
disqualification.
(5)
ENCLOSED
ZONE
-
On
sanction
of
exclusion
-
nobody
but
the
race
directors
can
touch
the cars in the enclosed zone.
Cars
leave
the
enclosed
zone
only for racing or
for
repairs. They are put on the track by the
race directors.
5.2.
RETIRED
CARS
&
RANKING
ORDER
(1) RETIREMENT - is necessary when a car is beyond repair or black flagged.
(2) RANK
ORDER
&
RESULTS
-
Eliminated racers at the Consis are always classified behind eliminated racers
at the Quarters. Racers eliminated at the Quarters are always ranked behind
racers doing the Semis. Eliminated racers at the Semis are always classified
behind racers having done the Main. However, all disqualified racers and ALL
racers having been enforced to retire (due to technical problems or black flag)
are always classified behind ALL racers having been not disqualified and having
finished the race.
5.3.
MISCELLANEOUS
(1)
RACE
DIRECTOR
&
SCRUTINIZERS - At IMCA meetings race direction and scrutinizing goes exclusively to
non-racers.
(2)
LAP
COUNTER
FAILURE -
The
lap
counter
is
automatically
corrected
for
all
laps
0.2
seconds
faster
than
the
track
record.
In
all
other
situations
only
the
lap
counter
results
are
considered.
(3)
CONTROLLERS -
Racers can use their own controllers under condition that they are not
increasing the power. Controllers must be mass produced and available in
large quantities on the market.
Basic principles for used controllers are:
(i) They regulate the supplied power for use on
a given track. (ii) Controllers may
never increase of the lane voltage in
reference to the power supply voltage.
(iii) Regulation of the supplied power must be
operated manually by the driver, automated
operation of the controller is not allowed.
(4)
TRACK
CALLS -
Only
allowed
(i)
on
debris
in
the
slot,
(ii)
on
power
failure,
and (iii)
on
non-marshable
car(s).
Any
non-authorized
track
call
results
in
a
3-lap
penalty
on
behalf
of
the
caller at sprint races and 10 laps at endurance races.
(5)
LOW
VOICE -
On
the
same
sanctions
as
sub
art.
5.1.b the
race
direction
may
hear
at
model
car
races
from
the
racers
no
other
words
than
"Double!",
"Under
the
bridge",
"My car on ..." at too slow marshalling, or
"Track!"
on
track
call. Yelling and shouting are strictly forbidden!
(6) BALLAST RULES -
Ballast rules as in art. 3.3.e, 3.4.e and application at the Procar BMW M1 Races
can be abolished by the race director on request of one or more racers having
not finished in the top-3 of the previous rounds.

7.2. WEIGHT, DIMENSIONS & GROUND CLEARANCE
(1) WEIGHT & WEIGHT CORRECTION
1.a. WEIGHT - The absolute minimum weight
for GT cars is
190 grams. To
this absolute minimum weight, a weight correction will be
applied, depending on the dimensions of the car.
1.b.
WEIGHT CORRECTION
- 5 grams penalty for every mm too wide, 3 grams penalty for every mm too low,2 grams penalty for every mm of difference with the
required wheelbase.
The combined weight correction will have to be glued under the
highest point of the front bonnet. 1.c.
EXAMPLE -
Porsche 997 GT3-RSR with the following measured dimensions and weight:
width: 85 mm (allowed: max 84 mm),
height: 49 mm (allowed: min 48 mm),
wheelbase: 102 mm (required 100 mm),
weight: 192 grams (required: min 190 grams).
Weight correction : 5 grams for 1 mm too wide, 4 grams for 2 mm
difference in wheelbase: so in total
9 grams needs to be glued
under the highest point of the front bonnet. This will bring the
total weight of this specific car at 199 grams.
(2) DIMENSIONS -
Dimensional differences will
be sanctioned through the weight correction as under 7.2.1.b.
(3) GROUND CLEARANCE -
This will be measured under
the entire RTR car, including the body, sitting on the tech
block. At the start of every race: never below 1.00mm. During a
race: never below 0.40mm.
7.3. CHASSIS, MAKE & TYPE
(1) CHASSIS - GT cars can use any mass manufactured chassis as per the
IMCA's Exhaustive List with Homologated Parts.
The chassis must be assembled
with screws and/or nuts and bolts, or by gluing, using the
original mounting holes on the chassis. No part of the chassis
may be soldered. The guide - to be chosen from the Homologation
List - must be of standard
make, with a maximum blade length of
25 mm, and this guide blade is the only part of the
chassis that may enter the track's slot. No part of the chassis
may be visible when viewing the car from above.
(2) CHASSIS PARTS - For GT mixing of parts between of different homologated chassis is allowed under the condition that nothing has been
modified on the replaced parts and that they are mentioned in
the List with Homologated Parts. The use of after-market parts is allowed, but the use of
carbon parts is limited to :
(i) body mounts,
(ii) the H-plate,
(iii) the spring plate,
(iv) the independent front and/or rear suspension,
(v) the guide holder.
Free materials are restricted to:
(i) nuts, bolts,
spacers, washers and springs,
(ii) braids, and
(iii) ballast weights. All other chassis parts must be mentioned in the List with Homologated Parts.
The opening for the motor in the ground plate may be closed by
any piece of any make.
(3) BOTTOM PLATE - On GT cars the bottom
plate must always be the same as on the original chassis,
without any modification.
7.4. MOTOR, GEAR AND PINION
(1) MOTOR -
Only the sealed hand-out ProSlot PS4000-IMCA
with balanced armature, with an M50 9T pinion already
soldered to the motor axle, and with ball bearings in the can
will be used. All of these hand-out motors will be already
broken in. Motor must be bolted to the chassis using M2
screws in the original mounting holes and mounting bracket.
The motor must be mounted with the magnets in a horizontal
plane. Soldering of the motor is not allowed, the only exception
being the connection of the lead wires to the motor terminals.
Only the original motor bracket or one out of the Homologation
List may be used, and this for the three classes of LMS cars.
(2) PINION & GEAR
- A 9 teeth M50 pinion is already soldered
to the motor and may under no circumstances be removed from the
motor. Spur gear must be a
44 teeth M50 gear of the homologated . Any IMCA
sanctioned race will have to be raced with this gear ratio. Gear
must be of the homologated type.
7.5. WHEELS, AXLES & BEARINGS AND SPUR
(1) AXLES & BEARINGS - Only homologated steel, carbon or
titanium 3mm Ø blank axles and homologated 6mm
outside diameter bearings of homologated make are allowed.
Fitting of these bearing to the chassis must be performed
without any cutting or modification to the chassis. The use of
independent front wheels is only allowed. No differential of any type
is allowed on the rear axle.
(2) FRONT WHEELS -
Homologated
front rims must be made from aluminium, with a minimum of 21
mm outside diameter, and 20 mm inside diameter. Front
wheels are always at least 7 mm wide and minimum 25.5
mm diameter. Front tires may be of any type of black rubber
and may be hardened. The front wheels must touch at all times
over their full width when positioning the car on the track or
on the tech block. Cambered front wheels are allowed, with a
maximum camber angle of 3°. The use of cambered front
wheels does not void in any way the rule regarding the minimum
diameter nor the rule regarding the contact surface with the
track or the tech block.
(3) REAR WHEELS -Rear
wheels are handout Scaleauto ProComp wheels with 27,5 mm Ø 13
mm wide, 20 mm Ø inside. Tyres may not, under no
circumstances, be treated with any kind of product at all.
Removing dirt, dust and loose rubber particles from the tyres
may only be performed by rolling the car on a scotched surface.
(4) WHEEL INSERTS -
All 4 wheels of the car must be fitted with 3-dimensional
homologated wheel
inserts, fairly representing the wheels of the real 1:1 car,
during the entire race duration. Practice without wheel inserts
will be tolerated, for obvious financial reasons.
(5) SPUR - The wheels may not protrude
outside of the body when viewed from above. Under no
circumstances, and irrespective the width of the body, no car
can have a front and/or rear spur wider than
83 mm. Spur will
always be measured at the widest point of the front and rear
axles.
7.6. BODY & INTERIOR & LIGHTS
(1) MATERIAL - Body must be manufactured
and/or assembled from one or more of the following materials :
moulded polystyrene, (plastic kits, Carrera bodies,...) or
moulded and / or resin laminated with glass fibre, carbon fibre,
or similar materials. These bodies must be legal and/or licensed. The car must be a fair representation
of the real 1:1 race car, and they must be painted in the
correct colours, wearing at least the main sponsors decals as on
the real 1:1 car. Fine detailing is strongly encouraged and
appreciated, but we do realise that not everyone has the same
modelling skills. Lexan may only be used for the interior
and the clear parts like windows and headlight covers.
(2) BODY EXTERIOR - Bodies must be equipped with:
(i)
a windshield, (ii)
side and rear windows, if existing on the 1/1 race car, (iii)
exhaust pipe(s), if visible on the 1/1 race car, (iv)
front splitter, if existing on the 1/1 race car, (v)
rear diffuser, if existing on the 1/1 race car, (vi)
rear spoiler, (vii)
rear view mirror(s), (viii)
windshield wiper(s) if visible on the 1/1 race car.
(3) BODY INTERIOR - Interior must contain at least
following 3-dimensional items :
(i)
dashboard, (ii)
steering wheel, (iii)
gear change lever, (iv)
painted fire extinguisher, (v)
seat, (vi)
painted driver figure with legs,
(vii) painted head/helmet
combination in a hard plastic material.
(4) LIGHTS - For races that are partially
or completely ran with a night section, the cars must be
equipped with homologated working head- and taillights located at their
original position as on the real 1:1 car. These lights must be
visibly working during the entire period determined as night
section and must be constructed in such a way as to stay
illuminated for at least 10 seconds after the power from the
track has been interrupted. The minimum requirements are : Front
lights: minimum two lights, of yellow or white colour, bright
beam. Rear lights: minimum two lights, red colour, diffuse
light.
Lightning can be of any make and is not
restricted to what is in the homologation list.
7.7. REPAIRS
(1) ONLY ONE BODY PER RACE - It is not allowed to exchange
the car's body once a race has been started.
(2) IMMEDIATE REPAIRS - Following repairs must be
carried out within 5 laps from when the problem first occurred :
(i) replacing or refitting the windshield or rear window, (ii)
refitting the rear wing, (iii) refitting the rear diffuser, (iv)
replacing or refitting the wheel insert(s),
(v) during night sections, front
and/or rear lights must be repaired as to comply with 7.6(d).
Unless specifically allowed by the race direction, all repairs
must be done during racing time, and are not allowed during lane
rotation. During track calls it is allowed to continue repair
works already started on a car before the track call was given.
7.8. SANCTIONS & PENALTIES
(1) TYRE DRESSING - Unless specifically allowed by
the race direction, any form of tyre dressing on the handout
rear wheels will result in immediate disqualification.
(2) TYRE CHANGE - During the race, a mandatory
tyre change must be done during the 5th race segment.
Non-respect of this rule will result in the loss of 10 per cent
of the achieved laps after 5 segments. This penalty does not
clear the competitor of the mandatory tyre change. Any car
caught during a technical inspection, for running below 0.4
mm ground clearance, will have to comply with the 1 mm
ground clearance rule before re-entering the race.
(3) INCORRECT BODIES - for any car presented at
scrutineering, not respecting all rules concerning the body, it
is at the race director's discretion how many ballast should be
applied to the body at the highest point under the front bonnet.
Illegal bodies, not respecting the international laws on
intellectual property, can of course NEVER be allowed at the
start.

pinion are free but on MTT tracks gear ratio must always be
44/9 for cars with handout
25.5mm rear wheels.
9.4.
FRONT & REAR WHEELS
Front
wheels must be in height proportional with those on the real race car. Tread
touching the track must be 5 mm wide.
Handout rear wheels (25.5 x 13 mm)
with black sponge tyres must be mounted on
3 mm axles.
9.5.
BODY
(a)
Body (in
hard plastic, resin, GFK or laminated) must be a 1/24th or 1/25th true scale
copy of one of the real race cars having been seen at a specific race of a
specific year, equipped with mirror(s), with exhaust pipe(s), with roll cage or roll bar, with
a fire extinguisher, with a three-dimensional racer with full upper legs and one
hand at the wheel, with a hard plastic or rubber head + helmet, with a driver's seat, and
with wiper(s) if so on the original race car.
Lexan bodies are not allowed. (b) Correct race numbers on the
correct places are obligatory.
(c)
On the use of PETG bodies
thickness
is not lower than 20-thousand.
(d)
Each body not being at true scale
will be refused at the start.
In principle only the bodies in
bold face in the table below
will be admitted at the start.
On using other body types, please, contact IMCA at
jppro@pandora.be.
Racers are always allowed to make a GFK copy of any of the cars in the list
below. (e)
Body
reinforcements are possible but must be always fixed in a distance of min. 10mm
over the bottom line of the body. Reinforcements placed lower as 10mm over the
bottom line can only be done by using standard mounting rubber (PF.1212 or SIGMA
SG.8214) in combination with flexible mounting glue.
A flexible mounting glue (for example HENKEL „Pattex“ oder PLAFIT „Magic
Glue“) is a glue wich can be pierced by a pin and wich also reacts as
material disconnecting by the use of cleaning-/lighter fluids (for example
ESSO 'Tiger'). (f) Adding
weight to a body in order to reach the minimum of 40 grams (art. 8.7) can only
be done by gluing ballast to the body, but never lower as 10mm away of the bottom
line of the body.
9.6.
WEIGHT & DIMENSIONS
Minimum
weight for CANAM cars is 160 gram RTR with a minimum of
40 gram for the body, incl. body mounts. Seen from above chassis, electro motor and
tyres must be completely covered by the body. Original bodies may be made by no
means wider.
9.7.
GROUND CLEARANCE
Ground clearance starting the race is never
under 1 mm, finishing the race never under
0.4mm.
9.8.
NO HANDOUT REAR TYRES
In classic racing there is no handout of rear wheels.
¶
8. ADDITIONAL
RULES
Art.
10: ON DEFICIENT GROUND CLEARANCE
Ground clearance
starting the race is always
0.6 mm minimum for sprint cars,
1 mm for
all other cars (FIA GT, Porsche Supercup,
FLM, Canam). It may never be lower than
0.4 mm. However if any part of a car drags the track, that car
must make a pit stop to repair and can only rejoin the track after the race
direction checked its clearance which, after repairs, must be again regular at
0.6mm
or
1 mm minimum.
Art. 11: BASIC RULES
(1) Should there be a
controversy between texts published on the IMCA web site and the Rule book
on the IMCA web, only the Rule book pages will be considered as binding.
All what was not clearly and explicitly
allowed by the technical Rule book is forbidden.
(2) The use of illegal bodies is absolutely forbidden at
all IMCA racing. At sprint races the used body must not only be legal, but also
be licensed. Manufacturers of illegal bodies are NOT at their place in IMCA
racing.
(3) Except for bolts, nuts, washers, spacers, and braids no other chassis parts
than those in the
IMCA's Exhaustive List with Homologated Parts may
be used in
sprint races. In those races replacement parts may never be changed
in form, weight or dimensions. Moreover changing the bottom plate or cutting the
original bottom plate is not allowed and results immediately in
DISQUALIFICATION. (4) In endurance races - except for nuts, bolts,
washers, braids, lead wire and lightning - no other parts than the homologated
ones are allowed, including the original bottom place..
(5)
On homologated parts, other than complete chassis, absolutely nothing
may be changed. Otherwise homologation has no sense at all. On homologated
chassis only parts may be changed by others if the last ones are part of the
list. Nothing on the bottom plate may be altered (no
cut, no bore, etc.)
