The opening round of the NSW Supersprint Championship was held at SMP Gardner Circuit on 24 March 2019. Hosted by ARDC, a very warm to hot start on a day that promised to be a great opening to the new season. All competitors managed to get four runs only due to the day being called early so competitors could attend the NSW Supersprints trophy presentation for the 2018 season.

Thank you to all of our 9 MX-5 Club drivers who represented our club gallantly against a barrage of ARDC drivers. Congratulations to Luke Kovacic on having the fastest MX-5 on the day with a time of 1:48.3858. Congratulations to all of our 9 drivers on their results as follows.

Driver	Place	Class	Time
Jamie Martin	1	2A	1:59.02
Malcolm Steel	2	2B	1:52.69

As far as the Club Championship is concerned, the Mazda MX-5 Car Club of NSW with only nine competitors has dropped a bundle of points today only managing 4th place in the Championship.
