Rallies in the Isle of Man

Renowned for its tradition of closed-road racing and diverse stage options, the Isle of Man is a prime destination for motorsport. While motorcycle races like the TT and Classic TT draw global attention, rallying has steadily grown in significance across the Island.

Now considered part of the heart of British and Irish rallying, the Manx countryside offers closed public roads with a range of scenery from main roads and farm lanes through to unique special stages.

Key highlights on the rally calendar include the Manx National Rally, which first ran in 1979 and uses the TT Grandstand as its base, as well as Rally Isle of Man, boasting 160 miles of competitive stages including the iconic Harris Prom Stage.

In particular these rally events are ideal for spectators as, not only do they allow genuine up close and personal viewing locations, they are also at quieter periods of the year on Island. This means you can pick and choose your accommodation to better fit your tastes, from premium hotels through to more authentic B&B locations scattered throughout the Manx countryside.
