Manx Auto Sport has confirmed that online casino and sportsbook, Bet on Aces, is the new headline sponsor for the Manx National Rally.

Announcing the news, club chairman Mark Quayle said: ’We are delighted that Bet on Aces has agreed to support the Manx National as headline sponsor.

’We look forward to working with this new and forward-thinking organisation.

’This much-valued support will allow Manx Auto Sport to build on its already successful Manx National Rally.’

Mark Ellison, president of Manx Auto Sport, said, ’This new, multi-year deal with Bet on Aces will secure the event for the foreseeable future and is not only great news for the club and its event, but also for the island’s tourist industry and economy.’

Continuing, he said: ’The Manx National Rally is already a tremendous success in the rallying world, with competitors enjoying some of Europe’s best road stages over a compact route.

’This year’s event offers close to 130 competitive stage miles over day and night legs. It is expected that some of the best crews from the UK and Ireland will be heading to the island to compete in one of the fastest and most demanding events on the rally calendar.

’With the new partnership announced, we will now begin our promotion of the Bet on Aces Manx National Rally, not only to rally crews and fans but also to the many volunteers required to successfully run the event, both from the island and further afield.’
