Report for Bidding to Host 2017 IFMAR World Model Auto Championship Dear IFMAR Officer,
IFMAR World Model Auto Championship is an event that has a great international influence in the model auto field and is popular among model auto hobbyists. Recently, model auto races have developed rapidly and are becoming more and more popular in China. We are having large growing number of hobbyists and professional players of model auto races in China. After the success running of 2016 IFMAR World Championship in Beijing, Car Modeling Association of China (CMAC) is ready to bid for another IFMAR World Championship in 2017.
Xiamen, located at the southeastern end of Fujian Province, China, is a modern international tourist seaport. Here is a well-known enterprise that is keen on promoting model auto races, Xiamen Light Industry Group Co., Ltd.
The company has constructed Xiamen 3-Circles Model Technology Experience Base covering an area of more than 80,000 square meters by investing over RMB 20 million. It boasts professional remotely operated model auto racing tracks and top-ranking supporting facilities.

Nearly 200 sportsmen from 12 countries and regions participated in the “Guankou · Sunpadow Cup” Cross-strait Model Auto (Off Road) Race” held in March 2016. Xiamen Light Industry Group Co., Ltd. has now possessed the experience and conditions for holding large-scale international races.

(40*70-meter model auto off road circuit)
The total length of the off road racing track is about 380 meters and the soil of the track is good. In order to enhance the drainage function, we have all the racing tracks inclined to the control platform so that no water accumulates on the racing tracks. There are catchpits and underground pipelines between tracks and there is a drainage system across the venue. The venue is equipped with tarpaulins, which ensures that the race can be conducted right after the rain stops. On the left-most is the up gradient and on the right-most is the down gradient. The race runs clockwise.
The induction line of the computer is buried in the front of the refueling area. It takes about 35 seconds to cover one single loop of the venue.
There is a spraying system for dust suppression around the off road racing course to reduce the influence of dust on the flat racing tracks.
