What is the MR2 Owners Club of Australia website?
Updated
mr2club.com.au is the online home of the MR2 Owners Club of Australia, a community site for Toyota MR2 enthusiasts. It serves two main purposes: connecting owners with their state or territory club, and documenting the club's events, galleries, and resources. If you own an MR2 in Australia, are considering joining a club, or want to see what the community organises, this is the central entry point.
Who the site is for
The club is aimed at Toyota MR2 owners and fans across Australia. The homepage's first action is a state selector, which tells you the site is structured around regional clubs rather than a single national membership. The states and territories listed are:
- New South Wales
- Victoria (Facebook Group)
- Australian Capital Territory (Facebook Group)
- Queensland (Facebook Group)
- Western Australia (Perth)
- South Australia
- Tasmania
There is also a link to the MR2 Australia Forum, so the site acts as a hub pointing outward to both formal club pages and community discussion spaces. If you are outside Australia, the site is still readable as a record of the club's activities, but the membership and event structure is Australia-specific.
What you can find on the site
The navigation reflects what the club actually maintains. Beyond the state links, the main sections are:
| Section | What it contains |
|---|---|
| About / Club History | Histories for the ACT, NSW, QLD, and VIC clubs |
| Join | Membership entry point |
| Events | Current and past event information |
| Galleries | Photo archives from past events |
| Magazine | Club publication |
| Merchandise | Club-branded items |
| Tech Info | Technical reference material |
| Racing | Motorsport-related content, including the Wakefield Park Challenge |
| Links / Contact | External links and contact details |
The galleries span a long history, from the 2004 20th Anniversary of MR2 and the 2004 Gippsland Hillclimb through to the 2024 MR2 Nationals in Wodonga. There are also dedicated pages for milestone anniversaries (2014's 30th Anniversary in Melbourne, 2023's 40th Anniversary) and a panoramic gallery from the 2013 Nationals in Hobart.
The Nationals: the club's flagship event
The most prominent content on the homepage is the MR2 Nationals, the club's main national gathering. The site documents a run of these events:
- 2007 – Canberra, ACT
- 2009 – Bathurst, NSW
- 2011 – Bright, Victoria
- 2013 – Hobart, Tasmania
- 2015 – Brisbane, QLD
- 2017 – Adelaide
- 2019 – Canberra
- 2022 – Hunter Valley
- 2024 – Wodonga
- 2026 – Launceston, Tasmania
The 2026 Nationals in Tasmania is listed as concluded. The event was organised by the Victorian MR2 club and its event committee, with major sponsors Autobarn Launceston, Shannons Insurance, and Gyeon Australia. The National Automobile Museum of Tasmania hosted the Japanese Classic Car Shows 2026, and a special guest, Tim Johnson, spoke about the journey behind the MR2 #28 race car.
This level of detail is useful if you are deciding whether to attend a future Nationals: it shows the event includes organised drives, sponsor support, museum and raceway involvement, and social meals, not just a single meet-up.
How to use the site
- Find your local club. Use the state selector on the homepage. Note that Victoria, the ACT, and Queensland are listed as Facebook Groups rather than standalone websites, so those links take you to social platforms.
- Check the Events section for upcoming Nationals and other gatherings. Registration status is announced on the homepage — the 2026 Tasmania event passed through "Registration Open," then "Registration Closed," then "Concluded," so timing matters if you plan to attend.
- Browse Galleries if you want a sense of what club events look like before joining.
- Use Tech Info and Racing if you are looking for technical or motorsport-related material.
- Go to Join for membership, or Contact if you have a specific question.
Practical points to keep in mind
- The site does not publish pricing or membership fees on the pages captured here, so check the Join page or contact the club directly for current costs.
- Several state clubs operate through Facebook Groups, which means activity and updates for those regions happen on social media rather than on this site.
- The Nationals rotate between states, so the location changes each cycle — the 2026 event was in Tasmania, following Wodonga in 2024.
If your goal is simply to understand what this club is, the answer is: a long-running Australian MR2 owners' organisation with a national event calendar, regional chapters, and an archive of galleries and technical material, all reachable from mr2club.com.au.
