Mark Higgins is taking every available precaution as he goes for his fourth British Rally Championship today.
The Manxman needs to finish ahead of closest rival Keith Cronin at this year's final round, the Trackrod International Rally in Yorkshire, to claim the title.
In a bid to avoid some of the technical problems he's suffered this year, and get a bit of an edge over Cronin, Higgins will be driving team-mate Andrew Gold's new-shape Subaru Impreza instead of his older model.
He says he's taking nothing for granted:
Multiple Manx athletes taking on 2026 Spine Race events
Burscough to be FC Isle of Man's latest visitors
Hockey: 2026 season to get underway this weekend
Rugby: Douglas looking to get back on track against Burnage
