Organisers of this weekend's Manx Telecom Rally say there is a danger of stages being cancelled due to a shortage of marshals.
An urgent call has gone out for anyone who can spare a few hours this evening (Friday) or tomorrow to contact chief marshal John Gill on 452321, and sign on for duty.
Paul Bird will lead the 74-car field into action in Port Erin at 7pm today, bidding for a hat-trick of wins in his Ford Focus WRC.
There's action in the south and west of the Island this evening, before the rally comes to its overnight halt at the Grandstand at around 9.30pm.
Tomorrow, there will be a further nine stages across the Island from 8.45am, with the first crews due to finish on Peel promenade from 3.30pm.
