The Isle of Man is a petrolhead’s battleground. For over a century, its relentless, razor-edged lanes have tested the world’s best in motorsport. Legends like Finn McCool are said to have forged this land, and today, racing titans still clash here—alongside everyday warriors and even the island’s mythical fairies. Now, it’s your turn to step into the arena.
In March 2026, the Three Legs of Mann rally roars back for its sixth edition. This isn’t just a rally—it’s a fight against history, tradition, and the island’s merciless terrain. With its base in the Palace Hotel and Casino in Douglas, but once again starting at the iconic TT Grandstand on Glencrutchery Road, where two-wheeled legends have triumphed, this event is steeped in the Isle’s rich rallying heritage. The Three Legs of Mann honours its roots, delivering a brutal mix of closed-road tests, punishing regularities, and weather that shifts like a living adversary. It’s Rally of the Tests—cranked to the extreme.
The rally mirrors the PAAI model, a relentless two days of challenges split into three legs, including a five-hour night section that will push drivers and navigators to their limits. With a Clerk of the Course wielding 40+ years of island knowledge and Alan Teare, former CoC of the Manx International Rally, guiding the charge, this is no joyride. It’s a high-octane war against the clock, the elements, and the ghosts of motorsport past.
You’ll battle through legendary routes like Druidale, Port Erin, and the mythical Mountain Road, where Snaefell’s peak looms like a silent judge. New closed-road tests and uncharted stretches will test your mettle on an island just 33 miles long and 13 miles wide—every inch of it steeped in motorsport history. From Douglas to Jurby, The Garey to the Mountain, the island’s rallying legacy is inescapable. It’s in the air, the asphalt, and the very soul of the place.
To compete here is to earn a place among giants. The Three Legs of Mann isn’t just a rally—it’s a trial by fire. Legends are forged on this rock, where the giants of motorsport once walked. Will you rise to the challenge, carve your name into the island’s storied history, and stand tall among them? Book your spot. The road calls. The Mountain waits. Prove you belong.

Event Schedule
Scrutineering & Documentation | 12 March 2026
Scrutineering will take place on Thursday evening at the TT Grandstand allowing crews time to travel on the Thursday afternoon ferry from Heysham.
Leg One - 13 March 2026
Starting from the TT Grandstand, crews immediately dive into tests in the TT paddock before several closed road tests and Regularities throughout the day. Some sterling work from our Isle of Man contacts has secured some new roads, some of which have never been used for rallies. There will be a two-hour rest halt before heading into Leg Two to give crews a chance to recover and gird their loins for the fun ahead on the night section.
Leg Two - 13 March 2026
Once darkness falls the island takes on a new feel and crews will tackle some regularities, two dark tests (not for the fainthearted) and four planned TC Sections utilising the mountain roads and Jurby Airfield. We venture into the island’s plantations using only the smoothest of roads available, following feedback from previous years. This will see the crews make their way back to Douglas for the overnight halt prior to Midnight.
Leg Three - 14 March 2026
Following the night leg, bleary eyed crews will be gifted with a sensible start time but faced with another raft of regularities and closed road tests culminating with the final test and a late afternoon finish at the TT Grandstand before the Awards Dinner.
