About Montre 2017

Before 1983, a round of the Japanese Rally Championship held in Gunma has been named as the “Yamabiko Rallly in Autumn” (Yamabiko meaning Echoing). However, in 1984 to make the rally realise under the support of many rally clubs it has been renamed as “Montree.” During this period, rally has been focused in Gunma Prefecture at the 3 mountains “Jyoumousanzan.” The mountains are Akagi mountain, Haruna mountain, and Myogi mountain. “The three famous mountains” (mont tres) has been mentioned on the outside in French has been changed to Latin character as (montres), Finally, the name of Japanese Rally Championship in Gunma Prefecture has been settled as “Montre.” From 1984-2003 Montre has been held every year and has brought many famous rally drivers and at the same time has performed dramatic scenes every year. However, because of the accident in 2003, the event has been suspended from 2004 to 2011. During that time, the reform of rally environment in the prefectural area, safety and management system have been reconstructed. In July 2012, “JAF Japanese Rally Championship Montre 2012 in Shibukawa” has been hosted by Gumna prefecture, Shibukawa city. The following year, 2013 the same big event has been realised at Shibukawa city for 2 days brought back many spectators. Moreover, from 2014 to 2016, to accomplish a high level of rally event, the place has been relocated to “the birthplace of motorsports” or known as Gunma Prefecture Tsumagoi village. The event has been realised as the high speed location at the vast plateau. The new location has satisfied many of the spectators successfully. In 2017, the event area from Tsumgaoi village to the neighbor area, has been extended to Nagano Prefecture Suzaka City. This added the status of rally and the international status of rally. Simultaneously, we are planning to add the Japan Super Rally Series Title to bring the rally event and the rally topic at a higher level compared to last year.

This year we are planning to establish spectator stages which the spectators could be filled with contentment. We, the staff members are looking forward to many entrants and spectators.
