With World Rally Cars competing at the front of the field, it's unlikely Manxmen David or Mark Higgins will win Rally Isle of Man outright.
The event starts at 6.45pm this evening on Douglas Promenade. The opening four stages are in the south of the Island - three at Castletown and the other in the St. Mark's area.
Rally Isle of Man Press Officer Chris Boyd says with several Championships using the Isle of Man as a round, each competitor will have their own ambitions:-
Rugby: Douglas to end year with Altrincham Kersal trip
Island side hoping to shake off back-to-back defeats
Cycling: Dates confirmed for new-look Gran Fondo IoM
Event will switch to MTB and Gravel races for 2026
Jiu-jitsu: Twelve medals for Manx team in Manchester
Three golds among highlights for Summit Grappling Academy
Carl Cox becomes ambassador for Mannin Bikes initiative
Legendary DJ and TT supporter will return to races in 2026
