Preparations for Rally Isle of Man hotting up

Organisers of the Rally Isle of Man are preparing the event for it's début as a autumn event, when it rounds out the British Rally Championship for the first time.

The 48^th staging of the infamous tarmac event will now be held at the end of October, instead of the end of July/start of August, as has been the standard for the past decade. But, late last year, the organisers of the event decided to have the event run as the final round of the BRC, as had been before it changed dates over a decade ago.

“We know there are many people asking when the event is on, many who expect it to be in the next few weeks. Our message to all our supporters, old and new, is to gear up for October, and we hope you’ll all be a part of a new chapter for Rally Isle of Man!” said Les Postlethwaite, Rally Director.

Along with the 48^th running of the Rally Isle of Man, it will be the Silver Jubilee of the Isle of Man Historic Rally, the very event that started the very popular historic rallying in Britain.

The Rally Isle of Man will take place over the 27^th -29^th October.
