These fees will cover:
Marquee space with flooring and power.
Entry fees for the round.
NRC administration fees.
Health and Safety levy.
With the series being only 5 rounds and not the normal 6 – 8 as has been the case in other categories the savings
made from extra accommodation and travel etc will off set the entry fees which are necessary to produce the
standards and quality that will attract sponsors to be a part of this true Trans Tasman category.
With the opportunity to race both here and in Australia in identical cars it is an amazing chance to make a step into
the higher reach's of motorsport.
Motorsport is in no ways a cheap sport and NRC will endeavor to deliver a product worthy of the status of a New

ARC in Australia has shown that this is possible and NRC will look to continue that legacy to become a sort after class
to compete in.

Why MOTORSPORT should be in the Marketing Mix:
Motor Racing is now one of the most watched sports in the country, with over 17 million people tuning in
to watch Supercar/Support category events. Motor Racing is now the second largest sport worldwide in
television and spectator share – second only to Soccer. NASCAR in the United States has proven that a
touring car category can be more popular than the traditional ball sports – NASCAR is now the 2nd most
watched sport in the USA. Attendance at V8 Supercar events has doubled in the last 10 Years. Motor
Racing is the third most attended spectator sport in Australia, only horse racing and AFL are bigger in
attendance. Motor racing fans are brand loyal – great for building new long term business.

NZ Racing Car Regulations
NZ Racing Car vehicles must remain in stock standard form. This means that all components must be OEM and the
chassis and suspension must not be cut, drilled or modified in any way. The entire car must be “as supplied by the
manufacturer” and this is regulated by comparing your car to any of the factory run cars – if your car differs to the
factory cars then it is likely modified and will be ineligible to compete. Only sealed engines may be used in NRC
competitions. NZ Racing Cars will be appointing an engine builder as the official engine builder for the NZ Racing Cars
series. All engine builds or servicing (that requires the engine seal to be removed) must be conducted by official
engine builder to be eligible for use in the NRC series.
