All Japan Rally Championship "Montre 2026"

About this event

From November 20 to 22, 2026, the 9th round of the All Japan Rally Championship, "Montre 2026," will be held across Annaka City and Takasaki City in Gunma Prefecture. Previously held in June until last year, the competition has moved its schedule to November starting this year as the final round of the series, where fierce battles will unfold. Annaka City serves as the hometown once again, featuring a total of 12 Special Stages (SS), including the Old Usui Pass road and previously unused forestry roads. The stages are planned to be more compact than in previous years, focusing primarily on forestry roads in Annaka City and Takasaki City. In addition to the Old Usui Pass road, which is popular with both competitors and spectators, one new spectator stage is planned, significantly expanding the viewing experience compared to last year. Held in a different season and serving as the series finale, thrilling, limit-pushing battles for the championship are anticipated across each class. The start and finish lines as well as the event venue will be set up at the Annaka Shinkumi Sports Center, featuring displays of competition-customized vehicles rarely seen in everyday life and food trucks, offering plenty for everyone to enjoy. Around 80 teams from across the nation will gather to compete in time trials on stages like Usui Pass.
