Wilks suffered problems in the Jim Clark Rally in Scotland in May
|
Rally Isle of Man gets underway on Thursday with all eyes on the battle for British Championship points.
Title holder Guy Wilks is tipped as the man to beat despite his car setting on fire in the last round in Scotland.
"After the fire in the Jim Clark, the Mitsubishi team had to take a publicity car and rebuild it for Guy," said rally correspondent Chris Boyd.
"They are the works team and can afford to put the time and effort in, but it might play on Guy's mind."
Manx driver David Higgins leads the standings with brother Mark winning the last round.
The first car will leave the Grandstand at 1830 BST for four stages - Marine Drive, two runs through Castletown and finally Cringle.
