Afternoon start to help earlier finish on Saturday
Rally Isle of Man blasts into action this afternoon - earlier than in previous years.
The ceremonial start is on Douglas promenade at 3pm before crews head up to Marine Drive for the opening stage.
That's followed by Clanna Road, Villa Marina, King Edward Bay and Baldhoon on the first day of three.
RIOM's John Gill says the early start is designed to make the finish of the event easier for everyone:-

Manx Care 'attempting to establish contact' with dental provider as patients face uncertainty
'Significant dredging works' in Douglas Harbour
'Operational reasons' and tidal restrictions delay Heysham sailing schedule
Coastguard team rescues two-year-old Jack Russell "Teddy"
