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:
Hopes DOI and striking bus drivers could meet
Unite the Union members are about to enter a third round of industrial action
Blocked gullies found to be cause of Castle Street flood
Problems 'not linked to the sewerage system'
'Only a very small number' needing support cashing benefits cheques
Minister confident those yet to cash cheques can access payments
Samantha Barks throws support behind wind turbine petition
'Many of us believe this would permanently change the character of our Island'
