Organisers of the Manx Auto Sport Stages Rally admit there isn't much time to get everything in place for the event at the end of next month, but there is great support for it to go ahead.
On Wednesday it was announced that the rally had been given the green light to use the dates vacated by the cancelled Manx International.
Hoteliers, the Steam Packet and government departments are helping as much as possible after a number of enquiries from competitors, disappointed to hear the original rally had been called off.
Chairman of Manx Auto Sport Limited Mark Ellison is confident his team will have everything ready within the remaining six weeks:
Netball: Manx Rams beaten in Singlife Nations Cup opener
Pinnington rescues Ravens against Longridge Town
FC Isle of Man keen to maintain unbeaten run on home return
Jiu-jitsu: Double European gold for Hayley Curtis
Hockey: Southern derby among Mixed Premier League ties
