Today (May 10) and tomorrow (May 11), we welcome rally competitors for the Manx Rally to our island roads.
It’s that time of year again – Motorsport season is well and truly upon us, with the excitement and thrill also comes road closures here, there, and everywhere.
God knows how they find the road surfaces, tbh, as I get a sore back from driving my Mini cautiously on Manx roads.
Sorry for delay in the post, it doesn’t affect me until tomorrow, so truthfully I forgot it was on today. Anyhow, today’s road closures are as follows:

As someone who moans about the rally and the road closures, it would be awfully unfair of me not to massively thank Manx Auto Sport for putting out extra signs to warn of livestock near the roads the rally is on – thanks guys!
Best of luck to all and have a ball!
