Manx-based egaming company 138.com has announced it'll continue to sponsor one of the biggest motorsport events on the Island.

The firm, based in Lord Street in Douglas, is the headline sponsor for this year's Rally Isle of Man.

The rally takes place from September 14 to 16, and forms a round of the FIA European Rally Trophy and the final event in the MSA British Rally Championship.

John Gill, Rally Isle of Man chairman, says he's looking forward to working closely with 138.com to improve the event's profile.
