Organisers of this year’s Rally Isle of Man say the event has a strong international feel.
The rally, which is celebrating its 50th year, kicked off last night and will run until tomorrow.
Competitors will cover over 460 miles of Manx roads – 196 of them on closed-road special stages.
Today is a 13-stage series which is headlined by extended Castletown stages later tonight.
Chairman John Gill says the event’s appeal is growing year on year:
