The Motorcycle Road Race Development Association was originally put together to provide a vehicle to provide invoices and payments to Partners of the Formula 400 Tri-State series in 2006. However as plans progessed for 2007, we started to look beyond the 400 class to see if we could help other areas of road racing. It soon became clear that the association could go beyond its original design and provide a series with aims to help develop the smaller capacity classes and in particular Junior road racing.

In 2007 the MRRDA together with St George Motorcycle Club in NSW, Hartwell Motorcycle Club in Victoria and Motorcycle Sportsmen Motorcycle Club in Queensland hosted the inaugural 5 round series. The classes were Junior, 125GP, 250GP, 250 Production and Formula 400. The series went beyond pure race meetings, extending to a number of seminars held in NSW, QLD and VIC covering the topics of media awareness and Sponsorship. In doing so we were able to assist the series participants to be able to use the media to their advantage and be better equiped to go and get personal sponsors.

In 2008 we took the next step forward and with the help of Honda and production house AVE took the series to TV. Seen on SBS Speedweek show as well as the Fox "Inside Speed" show the series was seen by thousands of people around Australia many of whom felt the need to let us know how exctiing the coverage was. We were also delighted to see our series winner join Honda Australia's race team for 2009 and 2 other youngsters get accepted to race in the USA Red Bull Rookies Cup for 2009.

For 2009 we will include the 2 stroke Juniors as well as Nippers and an age limited 600 Superstock class. Unfortunately we do have to drop the 250GP and 250 production based classes as a regular feature to fit these new classes in.  The 250GP class however wil get a run at our eason finale at Phillip Island.  In recognition of the work done by the MRRDA, Motorcycling Australia has awarded the Junior Classes in the series, National Cup status.  This is the next step towards an Australian Championship for the Junior classes.

The MRRDA is a non profit organisation run by volunteers. All monies raised through Sponsorship or any other means will be put straight back into the race series and associated seminars and training. The assocaition is run by a committee made up of a representative from each of the 3 clubs and each of the classes. The committee is completed by a Chairman, a Treasurer/Secretary and a partnership representative. This committee is respsonsible for all actions of the MRRDA with the driving focus being the development of motorcycle road racing and young riders in Australia.
