Three Legs of Mann History

Three Legs of Mann: A Brief History 

The Three Legs of Mann rally began in 2010, created as a unique classic rally making full use of the Isle of Man's coastal and mountain roads. Designed as a tough but scenic challenge, it quickly gained a loyal following.

Unlike some other events, this rally runs every three years, making each edition a rare and highly anticipated occasion. After a quiet period, HERO-ERA revived it in 2012, helping the event grow in scale, quality, and reputation.Through the 2010s, the rally drew increasing interest from historic car crews across Europe. It featured more complex routes, tighter navigation, and a serious test of endurance — all against the backdrop of the island's legendary motorsport culture.After a pandemic pause in 2020-21, the rally returned stronger than ever in 2023. Now for 2026, the Three Legs of Mann will continue to prove that classic cars aren't just part of rallying's past — they're its future.
