Mark Higgins has been reflecting on losing out in the British Rally Championship at the weekend.
Chasing rival Keith Cronin, he crashed out of the Trackrod International Rally in Yorkshire as the young Irishman won the event and with it the title.
He told Edward Oldham it's been hard to take:
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
