A Celebration of Classic American Cars Since 2007

Taranaki Radio Control Car Club

Since 1978, the Taranaki Radio Control Car Club has brought excitement to the region, welcoming enthusiasts of all ages. For the last two Americarnival events, the club has set up a popular display and race area, thrilling spectators with high-speed action and
impressive maneuverer.

They run fortnightly on-road and off-road races, with both Nitro and Electric classes, giving members plenty of opportunities to compete and sharpen their skills. Whether you’re curious about the sport, looking for a new hobby, or just want to watch the action, the Taranaki RC Club is a fun and welcoming place for everyone.

Members of the public whose children have RC cars are welcome to bring them into town on Saturday and have a run on the oval the club sets up. Times are 10am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm and 2pm.

SuperCheap Auto will also have some spot prizes
to hand out to a few lucky children.
