Round 1 – OctoberFAST!
Manfeild: Circuit Chris Amon

Our first round of the 2025–2026 season is just around the corner, and it’s set to be a cracker!

Headlining the event is the NZ Super Truck Championship, which is always a drawcard. GTRNZ, NZV8 Utes & NZ Six, NZ Porsche Championship, NEXEN Tyre Mazda Racing Series, and of course all three grids of the BMW Race Driver Series are on the schedule for what's going to be an epic opening round.

Spectator entry is free again this year; however, the Manawatu Car Club requests a non-perishable food item in support of the Manchester House Food Bank. Please leave these items either with the gate, or at the documentation office.
