JDTC 2026 Mid-Season Review — Three Storylines That Will Decide the Championship
A three-way battle in SA1, rising youth in N class, and weather-driven upsets — mapping the second half
The 2026 All-Japan Dirt Trial Championship has reached the mid-season mark with every class still fiercely contested. In SA1, three drivers are separated by fewer than 20 points, leaving the title open with three rounds remaining. WSJ analyses the season data and identifies three defining storylines heading into the second half.
The 2026 JDTC season has been defined by volatility since its opening round. A rain-altered surface at Round 2 in Aichi disrupted the setups of the leading contenders, producing a DNF for one of the previous year's championship frontrunners. Round 4 in Hokkaido turned on tyre strategy for the hard summer surface, with two Yaris GRMNs finishing within one second of each other in an exceptional duel.
