The prestigious Honda Formula Four Stroke Powerboat races return to Manx waters this weekend.
It's the powerboat world's biggest offshore two-class series and this year the Manx leg is the final round of the season.
The boats are capable of speeds of up to 70mph and a closely matched field should see some hair-raising racing, especially as the boats make the tight turn around the Tower of Refuge.
Race organiser Brian Wheeler says the competitors always enjoy the Isle of Man:
Manx Care asks visitors to wear face masks
It's said to help stop the spread of 'severe' respiratory viruses
Thousands can benefit from a satellite visa office, says ex-Douglas councillor
Island residents welcome to the idea
Ronaldsway passengers urged to arrive promptly
Airport says it's expecting a busy day after yesterday's disruption
Work underway to 'get confidence back in the economy'
Chief minister says concern over finances based on 'more sentiment than actual evidence'
