2018 IFMAR Off-Road World
       CHAMPIONSHIP
 PERTH WESTERN AUSTRALIA
     STAGE ONE REPORT
  Model off Road Buggy Club

To all the participants of the up and coming 2018 IFMAR Off- Road World Championship we
would like to extend a warm welcome from the host club and the people of Perth, Western
Australia.

 The club grounds are situated in the grounds of Whiteman Park. A beautiful area filled with all
the natural flora of Western Australia, and of course the unique fauna which only Australia can
offer. The course itself is world standard and challenging at the same time. The facilities will
be the best than we can offer, but with an Australian flavour.

 We have made a commitment within the club to do our best to ensure you all have an
enjoyable time in our wonderful city, not just with your racing, but with any and all of the sights
you find time to experience.

 Perth, which is situated on the Swan River, has a lot to offer, apart from the beautiful views!
The beaches are some of the best in the world; the food culture is such that, if you can’t find
somewhere special you like to eat, you’re not looking hard enough!

 We will endeavour to make all the information possible available to you, so that you can
experience as much of our interesting, historical and exciting city as time allows.

 We thank you in advance for taking the time to come from far and wide to enjoy our facilities,
and look forward to a professional, organised and exciting race meeting.
