Sports Listings: Saturday / Rallying: Manx National Rally, Isle of Man

The third round of the Mintex National Rally Series moves to the Isle of Man, where the Cop- y-Cat Manx National will be run over closed public roads tomorrow, starting and finishing in Douglas. Being a one-day rally, there is no margin for error and the tarmac surfaces will draw fast times from the 140 crews. Tight corners, narrow lanes, chicanes, a watersplash and airborne antics in the 11th stage will make for good spectating.
