Australia’s NDRC (National Drag Racing Championship) provides advance look to 2026 Championship calendar…

First launched in 2023, the NDRC set out to create one unified championship for Australian drag racing under the banner “One Way. Forward.” Now entering its third season, the series continues to deliver racers a clear pathway to championship success competing in front of thousands of fans across Australia.

Top Fuel, XPRO Nitro Funny Car, Top Doorslammer, Top Fuel Motorcycle, Pro Mod, Pro Alcohol, Pro Stock, Pro Stock Bike, and the Aeroflow Sportsman Championship will all feature, with live and free broadcast coverage from seven rounds on 7PLUS.

“Season Three of the National Drag Racing Championship is shaping up as our strongest yet,” said NDRC promoter Andy Lopez. “We’ve worked closely with tracks, sponsors, promoters, and racer groups to put together a calendar that is sustainable, exciting and inclusive. The season is full of incredible events fans already know and love at great venues around Australia. There are so many highlights to look forward to. Top Fuel back in the Top End, the unified Grand Final at The Bend, six flame throwing double headers with Top Fuel and Nitro Funny Cars, and if the Aeroflow Sportsman racing next season is as awesome as it was this year, watch out.”

However, there is one event in the calendar still to be announced. With Perth Motorplex announcing a much-anticipated track upgrade, the long running Westernationals is taking a hiatus in 2026, creating a “Mystery Round” in the NDRC calendar.

In Season Two, Pro Alcohol, Pro Mod, Pro Stock, and Pro Stock Bike were grouped under the PDRC brand in standalone events as part of the NDRC. Season Three will return all categories under a single NDRC banner.
