[WRC] Forum8 Rally Japan 2026

...

I hope, though, that isn't the reason for the unusually low traffic on this page. This must be the least we have ever dabbled on an event. And with the time differences with most of the rest of the world, it doesn't look like we will be very lively this weekend.

Sorry about the off topic first post, but the low traffic might be more about this site's ... decline than this particular rally. Sign ups for new members were broken for at least 6-8 months up until recently. I was trying to register once a week or so starting in September(ish) last year. There was no way to contact an admin, I even posted on a few Discords to see if someone would post here about it. I kept loading the site once every day or two, saw that the "Welcome to our newest member, valuer" had not changed, and closed the tab. If registration is broken for new users and no one here notices, it may have happened more than just that one time. So you will have a shrinking membership as people die or drift away and without new people, traffic will start to dry up.

Neuville 3 seconds slower on a 2 minute stage must be a record even for Hyundai !

Again he was much slower than Adrien and on same speed like Hayden...

And same 3.0s gap to both of Ogier's runs, still no closer after 4 runs. Pathetic.

Same here with mandatory logging in, everytime. However just to click.
Guess Rally Japan is bad timing for Europeans over the 24 hrs...

There's still plenty of people registered but posts have dropped off a lot after Monte.

The site is working better after a bad spell but it seems people arent that interested in posting during live events, preferring to just watch unless there's some drama.

There´s Discord, as well.

Something else that's making rally harder to follow - eWRC. Being asked by cloudforce to verify myself as human taking 10 minutes to load and then login every 5 minutes... Reminds me of this site.

I liked their old site, it was simple, fast and unrestricted. I know that it can't be running for free forever, but it does a job 100% better than official WRC site.

Agreed on this. eWRC new site looks very smart and modern, but the time it takes to open and to change pages is really slow.

I've often returned to using one of my original timing sites at www.rally-base.com. This has all you really need and is much easier to use.

Yep... and I really don't see the attraction, especially with most of the posts made in one continuous thread.

(I've seen an F1 gaming site I use die because they've all gone to Discord. I really miss it and trying to find the important info and updates on Discord is so difficult.)
