138.com Rally IOM - Sign on Tonight

Wed, 14 Sep 2016

With just 24 hours away from the return of the International Grade, Rally Isle of Man, there is a signing on session for Marshals and other Officials tonight.

If you can help run this years event which has a new sponsor (138.com), then go to the TT Grandstand between 6pm and 9pm tonight.

The event starts on tomorrow evening on Douglas promenade with a spectacular side-by-side opening stage outside the Villa Marina.

World Rally Citroen driver Craig Breen leads the event away and other big names include Manxman Mark Higgins who is looking for a sixth win on his 'home' event.

Others competing include British champion Elfyn Evans, rally legend Jimmy McRae and the fastest ever rider around the T.T. Course - 13-time winner Michael Dunlop.

The event has attracted 167 rally crews who will tackle 20 stages over 163 miles.

The climax of the event is the ever popular 'Classic Stage' which uses the TT course between Cronk Ny Mona and the Grandstand on Saturday Afternoon.
