Remotely Operated Auto Racers (formerly known as Radio Operated Auto Racing), abbreviated as ROAR, is the sanctioning body of competitive radio-controlled car racing in the United States and Canada. ROAR was originally organized in 1967 By George Siposs and a small group of people dedicated to forming competitive Radio Controlled Car Racing, and has steadily grown and evolved as the sport has grown. ROAR is the oldest sanctioning body in the world. ROAR is made up of 12 Regions in the United States plus Canada. ROAR is 1 of 4 affiliated blocs that form IFMAR (International Federation of Model Auto Racing). ROAR is 1 of 4 votes of approval of rules and regulations for IFMAR (International Federation of Model Auto Racing) and is the only organisation in the United States and Canada that can qualify drivers to participate in the IFMAR World Championships. ROAR publishes a yearly rule book that governs most forms of electric and gas R/C racing in the USA and Canada. ROAR sanctions club racing, Region races, Nationals and select events such as the Winternats, Great Lakes Challenge, Texas Biggie, etc. ROAR is a non-profit organization that provides insurance for racing participants, spectators and facilities.
