Road Race

The Road Race Commission are pleased to announce the modification to the Road Appendices in the Manual of Motorcycle Sport.

We apologise for the delay but the process has been challenging in tidying up and creating a clear and transparent structure.

Chapter 10 – Technical, is now a separate Appendix and all classes are now appendices.  This allow stakeholders class coordinators to have more timely input to changes and needs.

Again, apologies for the delay, noting the changes are effective from today 19 December 2025.

One final note, these changes allow the Road Race Commission and MNZ to publish the new season NZSBK rules in March 2026.  A major step in the process to assist planning going forward.

Seasons greetings and wishing you all a great holiday season and best wishes for 2026.

From the Road Race Commission
