Afternoon start to help earlier finish on Saturday
Rally Isle of Man blasts into action this afternoon - earlier than in previous years.
The ceremonial start is on Douglas promenade at 3pm before crews head up to Marine Drive for the opening stage.
That's followed by Clanna Road, Villa Marina, King Edward Bay and Baldhoon on the first day of three.
RIOM's John Gill says the early start is designed to make the finish of the event easier for everyone:-
Main road between Peel and Douglas to shut for tree felling
Emergency closure announced by DOI
'Targeted and intelligence led approach' to protect Island's borders during Irish sailings
Justice and Home Affairs Minister gives assurance that border security has been strengthened
Airport Director role advertised with top salary of £120,000
Department of Infrastructure looks to fill role in 2026
Traders on Michael Street feel 'abandoned' by politicians in tough times
So what needs to happen to regenerate Peel's high street?
