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

Safety Audits

As it's our first round of the season, no doubt the majority of the field will require a Safety Audit. Remote Safety Audits have been provided for, and as such we have organised some pre-Manfeild Safety Audit sessions on Saturday 18th October in the following locations:

  • North Shore — SkunkWorks (42c Anzac Road, Browns Bay)
  • Drury — G&A Automotive (61 Creek Street, Franklin, Drury)
  • Hamilton — SD European (23 Norris Ave, Te Rapa)

Please be sure to thank the MotorSport NZ Scrutineers, as they are volunteering their time for us.

Ensure you bring your physical log-book, and any personal protective equipment and apparel (just as you would for scrutineering at the circuit).

Please make sure you book at the correct location. To save the Scrutineers from hanging around all day, please try to select the earliest appointment you can make.

Manfeild Stadium

We've been lucky enough to secure the Manfeild Stadium for our first round, which means we will have a dedicated space for BMW Race Driver Series competitors who wish to use it. Dry, secure, and available to pack in on Thursday afternoon, this comes at a cost of $150 per competitor (payable to the BMW Race Driver Series). Pack-out is on Sunday evening.

To ensure the best use of space, we will be organising a specific Stadium Pit Plan, which will be circulated closer to the time.

Cars on trailers may be left on-site on Sunday night by prior arrangement only. If you'd like to arrange this, please contact Jodie at [email protected].

Please ensure you have booked your spot in the stadium no later than Friday, 10th October.
