Welsh Rally star Gwyndaf Evans goes into this weekend's Rally Isle of Man as one of the big favourites.
He has won the last two rounds of the British Rally Championship - the Pirelli and the Jim Clark.
However, despite his good form, he knows he will need to overcome a bit of a jinx on Manx tarmac at the top level:-
FC Isle of Man get pre-season underway with summer festival
Ravens get first runout ahead of new season
Swimming: Oscar Maddrell becomes triple British champion
Manx swimmer also breaks Island records during successful trip
Football: Mixed results for IoM Women in summer series
They welcomed Ynys Mon to The Bowl last weekend
Kinley and Bezance to be Commonwealth baton and flag bearers
Both to have starring roles in Thursday's opening ceremony
