Le Mans Alert!

General Meets + Track Day Reports
1

Apparantly the ferry companies have had an unprecedented level of cross channel bookings for this year’s event.A few of us have now booked on P & O’s 22.45 from Portsmouth to Cherbourg on Weds 12th June. Return is 11.30 Tuesday 18th June. (83Man - return has changed since we spoke yesterday)We will probably be leaving Bolton at around 12 noon on the 12th, & refuelling/stretching legs at the Warwick services on M40 at 14.30 ish. Next stop (apart from possible refueling) is likely to be Winchester for a bite to eat.Who else is up for it?[This message has been edited by Pesky (edited 10 January 2002).]

Hi guys - Just out of interest - how much are you paying for the channel crossing? I am looking to drive to Monaco during June this year and the cheapest crossing to Calais appears to be about �160. If you have any better ideas, I’d be pleased to hear them…BTW - do the cars go on a ferry without any problems with ground clearance??Cheers - Steve [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif[/image]

SteveWe’re travelling Portsmouth - Cherbourg, �282 return (Fast Cat return).With care, cars are loaded on ferry no problem. The P & O guys are used to loading sports cars, particularly during Le Mans time!

Cheers Pesky - I thought that �200 dover-calais sounded expensive, but I guess thats in a similar ball-park…

Steve, If you go to Le Mans and get your return ferry crossings within 5 days, eg Weds to Mon, you get a discount anyway! I’ve found Dover-Calais at �124 and Portsmouth-Cherbourg at �222, both for car + 2 passengers.
