Tauranga Indoor Radio Control Car Club Rules for All Club Classes updated 01/03/15

Tauranga Indoor Radio Control Car Club (TIRCCC) is affiliated to the New Zealand Radio Control Association
(NZRCA) and as part of our affiliation we run our car classes to the NZRCA rulebook. Whether it’s
Electric On-road or Electric Off-road,  each car must comply with the rules.
These rules are created by every club and are standardised across the country. By running to NZRCA
rules means that our members know they can take their cars to any other meeting nationwide and
their cars will be legal.
In addition to class rules, TIRCCC also has general rules which apply to the meeting you attend. This
covers things like marshalling, smoking, drinking, etc. We like to think of ourselves as a family
orientated sport/hobby and expect the racing to be a social occasion fit for all ages.
The following class rules cover the main criteria a race Vehicle must meet for it to be deemed as
legal for receiving results and points at TIRCCC events. These should be treated as advisory only as
each car and driver must meet all of the NZRCA rules found in the latest NZRCA rulebook. These
are the points that are used on a regular basis for scruiteneering purposes.
If you have any questions regarding the info below, please ask to speak to a committee member or
email the club at TIRCCC15@gmail.com

General Club Rules
Children under 16 years of age cannot be used as substitute marshalls without prior agreement from
race director.
Children racing Juniors must be accompanied by an adult when marshalling.
No consumption of alcohol during meeting.
Drugs of any variety will not be tolerated.
Smoking must be done outside of the racing establishment.
No open toe shoes (e.g. Jandals) or bare‐feet are permitted.
Swearing, yelling or abusive behaviour will not be tolerated.

chassis at all times.
No cars are to be driven in the reverse direction of the track.
All LiPo battery packs must be charged at 1c rating and inside a fire resistant bag.
A class must have no less than 3 Vehicles in it to be considered complete. Note; the Newcomers/Junior class
is the only class that is exempt from this rule.

TIRCCC Club Champs
Only finanical club members can receive points towards the club championships. Racers must
complete the’ final’ on club nights to achieve a result. Results cannot be awarded on qualifying. Only the first three positions in each class will be awarded trophies. 

General Racing Rules
Qualifying for a Final – All drivers who enter a meeting must complete a timed lap during a qualifying
heat to be permitted to race in a final.
You MUST marshall the race immediately after yours. Failure to marshall will results in race
penalties. If you are unable to marshall, you must find a replacement marshall and advise race
control of this.
Substitute marshalls are only permitted with permission from the race director. Failure to advise the
race director of a marshall substitution will result in race penalties.
All Marshalls must be in place within 30secs of the start – failure to meet this requirement will result
in race penalties.
Marshalls must be present at the cone number that matches their grid position printed on the grid
listings, not at their finishing position in their race.
