MRC Model Raceway

29/09/2026

Good morning all, as we're half way through the week its time to put am MRC update post.

Unfortunately this Saturday, we wont be running like we usually do. Another club is holding a working bee to prepare for their club champs which means a good number of our regular racers are going to help which is awesome. Considering that those key racers and our low turnouts of late, trying to run a race day with even less people is just not possible sadly.

The weekend after on Saturday is another clubs agm so that one is out as well.

The next meeting will be Sunday the 18th of October........

Hi all, we're racing at mrc again this Sunday. The track has been gaining grip as the temperatures have been increasing which is exciting! The weather is looking good for sunday even if a little colder..... so if you're keen for some astro racing come and get involved......

September sunday meeting 20/9/26

03/09/2026

Well its very nearly the weekend and we're racing at MRC this Saturday!

The track is now drying very quickly during the day and is now dry most of the time! So the grip is coming back and the track is getting faster!

The weather for Saturday is looking good along with the weather today (to dry the track from last night's rain).

Gates open at 9.30 and registration is open till midnight tonight.....

With that said im looking forward to fun race day.....see you there!

Hi all!

Thank you all for commenting on the previous post as to what to do for August. I prefer to make decisions that include your input as its you the racers who we exist for!

So with that, the August Saturday meeting is up on the NZRCA site. Unfortunately it looks like its going to be cold and damp so pack those silver compound tyres in your kit bag!

Righto team, its nearly August which unfortunately is a bit of a problem month.

I cant run the first Saturday of this month due to other commitments and the third Sunday of the month is the Indoor nationals which im going to.

So the question is what do you, the racers, want to do?

Change to 2nd Saturday, 4th sunday?
Just one meeting on either the 2nd or 4th weekend of August?
Or, have a break and skip August, then get back into is in September?

The choice is yours, comment below, the most with the same choice, sets the plan....

Righto Team,

After a bit of a quiet month from me and MRC along with the weather , this coming Sunday is race day!

The forcast is looking good, the track is drying out and with any luck Sunday should make for an awesome days racing!

Hope to see you there......

July sunday race meeting 19/7/26

20/06/2026

Good Evening all,

So this weekend I was going to be getting help from Gary to run the Sunday race as I've been in for a wee op.

Anyhow here in Rolleston its tipping it down and forcast to do the same through tomorrow morning so both myself and Gary feel its better to cancel tomorrow (two in a row, sorry!). If i wasn't forcast to continue in the morning id run on wet astro but its no good when its actually raining and being out there on the stand.......

Ill put another event up for sunday the 28th of June to try again! I hope the weather plays ball and we all get some racing in!

New event post to follow shortly......

05/06/2026

Evening all, unfortunately im cancelling tomorrow's meeting, 6/6/26. Unfortunately its tipping it down now and forcast to do the same in the morning! Although we can run on wet astro, its not much fun or good for your car.

The june Sunday meeting is live however...... hopefully we get back to the good weather weve been having.....

Hi all,

Racing Saturday, bit of late post on my part sorry.

A few things to note,

Gates open at 9.30 due to winter darkness and dampness.

Bring you silver mezzo tyres as grip will probably be low.

If you entry has been deleted, its because youve not paid your fees......

Righto, thats about it, enter here:
