In what is set to be the last edition of Rally Portugal in Matosinhos for the time being, the 2026 edition of the event features an itinerary with similar locations as last year, reshuffled between different days compared to 2025. Two "proper" stages will be run on Thursday as a direct response to the drivers' comments from last year's Friday leg. 

The 2026 edition of Rally Islas Canarias marks the 50th running of the event. The island rally features high-speed stages on a smooth tarmac surface, and it's the closest thing the championship has to circuit racing. Extreme weather conditions a few weeks before the event forced the organisers to change the itinerary slightly.

The Croatia Rally returns to the WRC calendar, and sees its route change. The event is now based in the Grobnik Circuit close to Rijeka, not Zagreb. Instead, Friday takes place entirely in Istria, using stages last used before the event's inclusion in the WRC. There are no shared stages between the 2025 ERC edition and this year's event.

Every rally driver has had a big crash in their career. In this post, we will be taking a look at the biggest smash of every driver in the top class from the 2026 WRC season. Let's have a look!

The WRC's only round in Africa sees a revamped, shortened itinerary for 2026. In order to shave off some lengthy liasion sections, the Ceremonial Start in Nairobi has been dropped, as has the twin-car SSS in Kasarani. Most of the rally's stages have been shortened, including Sleeping Warrior. At 350.84km this is the shortest edition of the event since 2021. 

Rally Sweden is the only true snow rally of the WRC calendar. This year's itinerary features no new stages, but still, 35% of the route is new compared to 2025 thanks to stages being run in the opposite direction.

The 2026 WRC season opener features an exciting new itinerary, with over 70% of the route being new for this year. The event makes its way back to Monte-Carlo from Gap on Saturday now instead of Sunday, with the day capped off by a run of a Super Special in Monaco, which uses parts of the Grand Prix Circuit.

The WRC will visit the Monaco Circuit for the first time since 2008. To mark this occasion, let's have a look at other times the World Rally Championship visited well known motorsport venues!

With the 2025 season reaching its conclusion, we take a deep dive to look at how each driver and team performed across the year. The Powerslide Stats Season Review is back and it's nerdier than ever!

 The 70th EKO Acropolis Rally will be based in Loutraki. Moving the rally 's HQ to the Peloponnese was a move of necessity, as the Lamia Expo would not be available for 2026. So let's take a look at what might be on the 2026 itinerary, as well as what the organizers' options are.

The European Rally Championship season drew to a close in Croatia this past weekend, with Miko Marczyk emerging victorious. 

But who was the fastest driver among the regulars, and who delivered the season's most dominant perfomances? Who was the driver most affected by accidents, and who which tyre manufacturer had the most punctures this season?

All this and more in this 2025 ERC Season Review!

Long before Rally Saudi Arabia, long before Rally Jordan and the Qatar and Abu Dhabi World Rally Teams, there was an effort for an Abu Dhabi backed team to join the WRC in 2007, using Mitsubishi Lancer Evo WRC cars.
