Anyone contemplating whether or not to come along to the very best motor race and maybe thinking it’s all too late and too expensive.

Brittany Ferries are still offering good rates on routes, Poole to Cherbourg, out 14th night crossing back 21st early evening all for £230.  Can't be bad; get to the circuit in plenty of time and a leisurely return.

I would like to just add that I have booked a return crossing in the last few days with Norfolkline ferries from Dover to Dunquerke for only 38 quid (thirty-eight quid!).

OK, I had to take the graveyard sailing at stupid-o-clock in the morning and that Dunquerke to Le Mans is about the longest driving drag you get but for this price you save enough to cover fuel and milage, surely??

Without advertising, I think this is unbeatable, and from previous experience I can say that the service is excellent, aircraft style lounge seats, 'in flight' television, free tea and coffee, no screaming kids or other tourists. Euro-truckies do not have it that bad really!

SMOKIE - Maybe this could be of use in 'HELP' forum?!?

Cheers Ferrari, thanks again for your assistance. See you at Shampoo bar!

Condor Ferries still have places available on their crossing from Poole to StMalo when I checked last weekend. The price has dropped as well to £170 for a car and 2 passengers. Give them a call if you are stuck.
