Fire crews were called to a stage of the Manx National Rally after a car caught fire.

A team from Douglas fire station was asked to attend stage nine and 10 of the rally on Saturday.

The course had to be closed to allow the crews to deal with the incident while competitors used portable fire extinguishers to put the flames out.

Firefighters remained at the scene for around 30 minutes, damping down the vehicle.
