Day 1 - Precision Signs & Wraps NZ Superstocks

The top 3 from each qualifying group will qualify directly for the finals.
The next 3 from each group will go into a repechage.
The first 2 cars home in the repechage will join the 18 cars already qualified, making up the 20 car Precision Signs & Wraps NZ Superstocks Final field.
The B, C, D & E Mains will be made up based on where you finish in your qualifying group.

Your position in the qualifying group determines which Main you go into the repechage does not affect Mains seeding.

The top 4 from each qualifying group will qualify directly for the finals.
The next 10 from each group will go into one of two repechages:
Blue & Yellow / Green & Red

The first 2 cars home from each repechage will join the 16 cars already qualified, making up the 20 car Advanced Sheetmetals Limited NZ Streetstocks Finals field.

As with Day 1, the B, C & D Mains will be based on where you finished in your qualifying group.

FAST FUEL ROTISSERIE
The Fast Fuel Rotisserie team will be up and running from 9:00am until approximately 2:30pm both days, so there’ll be plenty of food available throughout the weekend as there is a chance we will not stop for lunch.

The admin team are full of excitement heading into this weekend. From what we can find, these will be the biggest NZ Superstock and NZ Streetstock National Titles held to date, which is massive and a great indication of just how good a spot the hobby is in!

We’re looking forward to seeing you all Saturday morning.
Drive safe, and we’ll see you at the track

If you have any further questions about the weekend, feel free to reach out!

2026 NZ RC Stockcar Teams Championship

Here's a quick rundown of how the weekend will work!

Day 1 – 100 Races
Teams are split into three seeded qualifying groups. Each group races a full round robin.

With only 8 teams in Group 3, they have no byes, meaning they'll finish their programme earlier than the others and will be able to get home to dinner slightly earlier,

Day 2 – 79 Races
The top two teams from each group progress to the Super 6, where they race another round robin with points reset. The top four then advance to the semi-finals and finals.

The remaining teams will be split into Tier 2 and Tier 3 based on their average points per race from Day 1, creating two evenly matched divisions to keep the racing as close and competitive as possible.

The Google Sheet and LiveRC will be running all weekend links will be posted in the comments tomorrow.

Across the weekend there will be 179 races, ensuring every team gets plenty of track time. This took a lot of head scratching to put together with the unreal number of entries. A record breaking 26 teams is absolutely crazy, so a huge thank you to everyone travelling. Please drive safe, especially with the icy mornings we've been having, and we'll see you all tomorrow!

KING OF THE ARENA 2026

Firstly, we’d like to thank everyone who turned up, 70 Stockcars is crazy for this early in the year and it was a great way to test out the new surface before the upcoming titles later this season.

Congratulations to the Stratford Gladiators for taking out the Superstock Teams Invitational.

Stockcar Results

🥇 1st – 8P TRF
🥈 2nd – 17S Cam Hiestand
🥉 3rd – 29A Blake Lockett

Full results posted below.

A massive thank you to Stu and Kate who gave up their Sunday to run the meeting for us. Unreal job as always from them, 33 races completed before 2:30pm is an awesome effort.

Huge thanks to everyone who helped with setup and pack down over the weekend. Crazy the amount of support from non club members who lent a hand over the weekend while a number of our club members vanished pretty quickly.

Our next meeting will be the NZRCS NZ Stockcar Teams Title, with entries for this going up very soon.
