¶ 1. OFFICIAL IMCA RACES

Art. 1: OFFICIAL IMCA RACES
1.1. the yearly IMCA races
(1) SPRINT RACES - I.M.C.A. (International Model Car Association) organises yearly the following sprint races: (i) the IMCA Model Car 124 PRO World Championship Sprint with 1/24th Porsche 997 GT3 Supercup cars as stipulated in art. 7BIS. 
(ii) the IMCA Model Car SEMI-PRO World Championship replaces the former Mello Yello Junior Worlds and is up from 2011 a combination of (1) a 1/24th sprint race with the Porsche 997 GT3 Supercup cars as stipulated in art. 7BIS, (2) a 1/32nd sprint race with handout cars and (3) an endurance race, similar as sub art. 1.1.2 (i). Top-15 at those races win res. 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points. Only the two best results per racer are considered. Ties are broken by comparing the fastest qualification time per racer.
(iii) the IMCA Model Car Production World Championship Sprint with 1/32nd handout NSR Moslers.
(2) ENDURANCE RACES - The following endurance race are organised once per year:
(i) the Endurance World Championship with 1/24th  FIA GT cars as stipulated in art. 7.
(ii) The European Endurance PRO Championship (EEC)  with 1/24th FIA GT cars as stipulated in art. 7.
(iii) The Franco Gianotti Trophy with FIA GT cars as stipulated in art. 7 or with FLM cars as in art. 8.
(iv) The Pinky Point Series, if again organised, will go with FLM cars as stipulated in art. 8.
1.2. the RACERS
At the races in art. 1.1 number of entrants may never be higher than 32, with never more than 8 of the same nation (5 if it concerns the SEMI-PRO Worlds). Racers having omitted to submit their entry form before the expiration date of the 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) SEMI-PRO racers never ranked lower than #250 on the IOC list at the end of the previous year.
1.4. RACERS PER CAR
(1) RACERS - At sprint races there is per race only one racer per car and one car per racer. At endurance races there are two or three racers per car.
(2) ON TIRE CHANGING - At endurance races one tire change is obligatory. Omitting the tire change will be penalised.
1.5. TRACK AT THE IMCA NATS
Only wooden 8-laner tracks, of type MTT with standard dimensions may be used at the IMCA PRO Worlds Sprint & the IMCA Worlds Endurance.
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.

(5) TYRE CHANGE - Rear tyres must be changed in front of the race direction during the first segment after mid-race. Teams receive only fresh tyres when the old tyres came back. No change results in a 50 laps penalty.

Art. 4: OBLIGED SHIRTS AT IMCA RACES
4.1. BASIC PRINCIPLE OF 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 T-SHIRTS UNTIL PRIZE GIVING CEREMONIAL 
Racers have to keep this shirts until  the end of the prize giving ceremonial. ATTENTION - ATTENTION - ATTENTION - Racers found without at the prize 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.
