New Onroad track nearing completion in New Zealand

New Zealand is close to getting a new international spec onroad track with works on the new Taranaki Radio Control Car Club facility in New Plymouth nearing completion.  A club that has been in existence since 1978, that uses an existing parking lot style onroad track and also has a dedicated offroad track in the area, have already invested over NZ$300,000 into the brand new purpose built facility.  A significant community-driven project that will benefit RC racing in New Zealand and the wider region, their goal has been to create one of the premier RC onroad circuits in the Asia-Pacific region, the facility being designed with major national and international events in mind, including the potential to host future FEMCA-level competitions.  Now entering the final stage of the project, TRCCC recently launched their “Road to Opening Day” campaign to help raise the final funds needed to complete the track & its facilities.  As part of the campaign, supporters can become one of our Founding 300 Members, receiving a personalised commemorative plaque and permanent recognition on our Legacy Wall at the circuit.  This campaign will help to the club raise the final NZ$150,000 to complete the project ahead of its official 2027 opening.
