RC car racing has one world body, IFMAR, which writes the World Championship rule books. Its four blocs run their own continental championships under their own rules: EFRA in Europe, ROAR in the United States and Canada, FEMCA in Asia and Australasia, and FAMAR, which Wikipedia describes as the bloc for South Africa, Mexico, Central America and South America. National bodies such as the BRCA in the UK run national titles, and organisers run big races under their own names. These pages keep every body's titles apart, and no result is carried from one body's list to another's. How the bodies fit together is on IFMAR and the blocs.
One caveat runs through every page. None of the bodies' own results pages (IFMAR, EFRA, ROAR, FEMCA or FAMAR) was read for this site, so each result rests on trade press (mainly Red RC and LiveRC), on Wikipedia, which is a secondary source, or on a report the BRCA published. Each page says which, and says when a result rests on a single report or only on a headline. No money figures of any kind appear on these pages.

Names across different results
Many of the same driver names appear in IFMAR, EFRA, ROAR and FEMCA results. These pages never say that a name in one result belongs to the same person as a matching name in another unless a source says so, for example when a report calls a driver the defending champion. Each name is spelled as its source spells it, and a driver's nationality is given only where the source states it. How a race meeting runs, from qualifying to the finals, is on how a race meeting works.
