Let’s Race RC Gears Up for a Huge Second Half of 2025: Waikato Champs, TSMCC Classic, and a Special Three-Generation Racing Story
Let’s Race RC is back trackside for a massive lineup of RC action as we head into the back half of 2025. From live event coverage at two of the country’s biggest indoor events, to a heartwarming and nostalgic podcast series diving into one of New Zealand’s most unassuming — yet iconic — RC families, the rest of the year promises stories, racing, and community that can’t be missed.
🏁 Waikato Indoor RC Champs – August 23–24, 2025
Get ready! The Waikato Indoor RC Champs 2025 are just around the corner, and Let’s Race RC will be on-site capturing every heat, every pass, and every pitlane moment. Held over the weekend of August 23–24, this event is a cornerstone of New Zealand’s indoor racing calendar.
With D Maz race directing and the full media team covering the action across both days, you’ll be able to catch highlights, interviews, and live insights straight from the track. Expect intense battles in stock and mod classes, some breakout junior performances, and behind-the-scenes content you won’t find anywhere else.
🚗 Tony Stephens Memorial Club Classic – October 2025
The Tony Stephens Memorial Club Classic (TSMCC) returns with an expanded class roster and some fresh racing twists for 2025.
Highlights this year include:
The return of the Mini Challenge with MO3/MO5 brushed kits
Fast-paced action in Super GT, FWD Touring, Formula 1, and the HyperCars class
A special Juniors category supporting the next generation
And the headliner: 13.5 Touring, where racing skill, sportsmanship, and marshalling all contribute to crowning the overall TSMCC Champion
New for 2025 is the Fast 5 Round Robin, a 5-lap showdown between the Top 10 qualifiers in 13.5 Touring to determine the grid order for the triple A-mains. Let’s Race RC will be right there to catch it all — drama, strategy, and raw pace.
🎙️ Exclusive 3-Part Podcast Series: “Generations of Speed”
Launching soon on the Let’s Race RC Podcast, we’re proud to introduce a powerful new 3-part series exploring the lives and legacy of one remarkable RC family.
Spanning three generations, this family has quietly shaped the New Zealand RC scene through grassroots support, track building, and sheer passion for the hobby.
Expect:
Candid conversations from grandfather, father, and son about how RC shaped their family
A showcase of vintage RC memorabilia and restored classics that will ignite pure nostalgia
Reflections on how the hobby has evolved — and what still makes it special today
This mini-series goes beyond the surface and dives into the heart of why RC matters — for families, for local communities, and for lifelong enthusiasts.
