IFMAR Electric Track World Championships – Update

IFMAR has received notification from the event host, Hongyu GDC, that they do not currently have the necessary government approvals in place to host the 2026 IFMAR Electric Track World Championships as scheduled.

The host has advised that they are continuing to work with the relevant authorities and have requested that IFMAR consider a revised event date in November 2026, subject to those approvals being granted.

As a result, and with no confirmed venue currently available, the event scheduled for March 26 – April 5, 2026 cannot proceed and is therefore cancelled.

IFMAR recognises that this situation is extremely disappointing for competitors and teams who have been preparing to attend. The circumstances that have arisen are outside IFMAR’s direct control.

There are a number of complexities associated with the request from Hongyu GDC. The IFMAR Board of Directors will now consider this request, along with other potential dates and venue options, with the aim of rescheduling the 2026 IFMAR Electric Track World Championships later in the year.

We understand that many competitors may have questions regarding existing travel arrangements. Competitors are encouraged to contact their airlines, accommodation providers, and travel insurance companies regarding any bookings that have already been made.

IFMAR will issue a formal letter, along with supporting documentation, to assist racers with refund requests and potential insurance claims by the end of the weekend.

Please note that, due to the nature of the cancellation, BLOCs will arrange refunds of entry fees to racers, either directly or through their usual channels, should racers elect not to attend the rescheduled event once it is announced.

Further updates will be provided as soon as more information becomes available.
