1:12 scale racing is some of the fastest and most intense racing to participate and/or spectate in R/C racing (in our opinion). Primarily 1:12 scale racing takes place on indoor carpet tracks, however, the 2014 IFMAR 1:12 World Championship in Florida WAS scheduled to take place on the asphalt.
IFMAR has made the following announcement:
"Taking into consideration the predominant general feelings, and thanks to the goodwill and cooperation of the organizer, IFMAR has commonly agreed to revert the 2014 IFMAR World Championship 1:12 from an Asphalt to a Carpet surface race. We are well aware that this may come over as a bombshell. Many people will have to reconsider their engagements due to this important new element and it's short notice. A swift and ample communication flow is by then fundamental. We trust you to spread this important information at your very earliest convenience to all concerned levels under your control."
We speculate that this decision results from much debate and begging from participating racers.
Should the event have been left asphalt with such short notice, or will the carpet change provide a higher quality event?
