ABOUT NRCD
KIWI INGENUITY SINCE 2003
Newmanz RC Direct (NRCD) is a family-run New Zealand business dedicated to inspiring the next generation of engineers. Founded in 2003, we have grown from a local project into a nationwide partner for secondary school technology classrooms.
With a background proven in national championship racing, we bring high-fidelity engineering standards to the educational environment. Our kitsets are refined through competition and industrial precision, delivering authentic practical skills.
Focused on hands-on engineering education, we bridge the gap between STEM theory and workshop reality. Our mission is to foster technical mastery and Kiwi ingenuity, one bolt at a time, ensuring every student builds a future they can touch.
