2025 IFMAR 1:8 Onroad World C/ship – Stage 1 Report

The Stage 1 report for the IFMAR 1:8 Onroad World Championships which take place in Santiago, Chile, later this year has been published by host club Club of Aeromodelos of Chile (CACH).  The 24th edition of IFMAR’s original World Championship takes place at country’s very impressive CACH facility which houses a variety of RC tracks and airfields and which will also host the 1:8 GT Worlds 2-months earlier.  Infinity and Dario Balestri are the defending 1:8 Onroad World Champions with Simon Kurzbuch the last World Champion to be crowned in South America when he won in Brazil in 2015.   Officially set to start on November 28th with IPD, the race will run over a ridiculously long 9-day period with December 6th (Sunday) reserved as a rain day.  The length of the IFMAR Onroad Nitro World Championships is an issue that has been raised for years as a barrier to participation yet it has still not be addressed by the governing body.  While we wont be there for the 9-days, Red RC look forward to making the trip to Chile to report on how the race unfolds.
