Paul Bird will defend his Manx Telecom Rally title next weekend.
It had been thought the World Superbike Kawasaki Team boss would miss the event as it clashed with a round at Monza in Italy.
His co-driver in the Ford Focus world rally car will be Kirsty Riddick.
Bird will be first away and will be followed by British Rally Champion Keith Cronin who is after more experience on Manx tarmac ahead of Rally Isle of Man later in the summer.
Leading the local challenge will be Steven Quine and Richard Skinner at number six and George Collister and Janet Craine at number 12.
