So not only will the cost of driving be less, but its nicer to not be sat in the car for so long. Also, there is a night on the Hull ferry each way, which you would have spent in a hotel - and so that £300 (return) doesn't sound so bad now does it?

When I went to the Belgium GP last year, we did it Dover - Calais, but this year we did it Hull - Zeebruge, and this year it was far better and more do-able without dead legs, traffic jams on the M6/M40/M25.

if you can car share with another racer, or even 3, a cabin for 4 on the Ferry, its a no-brainer in my opinion.

BTW, Woody, depending on the date, count me in.

That's why I totally unselfishly wanted it to be down south That was working on the assumption that it wasn't fixed on Manchester...

What's your take on the NeoBuggy track at Harper Adams?
