Anyone going to Le Mans? Did you get on the Rosyth ferry? I'm having to go from Hull. Puzzled at lack of joining instructions/travel directions in bumf from Travel Directions. WOuldn't mind some tips from old hands. Am ariving at Zeebrugge early Fri morning so hopefully should be there 2ish 3ish. Blue Boxster S T40 DRU
 
Hi,

Been quite a while since I travelled via Zeebrugge, but as I recall you basically turn right at Zeebrugge, and follow the coast road down to France. This will take you to Calais / Bolougne, and you can follow the motorway from there.

Hi Andrew

yes off to LM but travelling out of folkstone!! would have preferred Rosyth but with it only sailing every two days it would have meant one extra day off "sick" from school for my son!!

re directions - earlier post right - turn right zeebruge & then catch up with all the loons coming out of calais.

R u with Porsche club? if so see you there (red gt3 "RVG60")>

cant wait!!
 
& reference to ferry every 2 days was of course from Rosyth!! Andrew could see your post on the LM forum so see u there

I have gone several times to Le Mans from Zeebrugge. Fastest is to head for Paris then Le Mans, via motorways. The coast road is more scenic but much slower and possibly crowded with mobile speed cameras.
 
from zeebruge down to spa,, took us nearly 7 hours last time with traffic !

and there was lots of police sitting with speed cameras,,, particularly on the road home ????

stop at lots of petrol stations on road down,, ,they are great, masses of cool cars,,,


EVO this month,,,, states that french police will give you an immediate 14 day ban for doing more than 25mph above speed limit,,,,,,,,, i.e. you leave the car at the road side, they take it to the nearest police station,,,,,,,,,,,,,, you walk,, unless you have passenger who can drive !,,,,,,, and remember radar detectors, road angel etc, are illegal,, they will fine an remove them from your car,,,,

you gota love the french,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, try remembering them about the war !!!


have a great time

scottie.....

ps,,, we are going to lemans,, but the classic this year !!!!!!!!!

trip to lemans will be nice and slow,,,,, no point whizzing by if no-one can see you !
 
Thanks for all the tips. A tecchie issue-is everyone changing over their lights to the right? Looked at my Boxster manual-seems quite a palaver. Dont expect to need lights as only driving to and from Le Mans in daylight. I am sure manual also says not to fix deflector strips to zenon lights
 
Hi Colin, Yes - at least two of us have already booked the camping at Porsche Curves option with Lycian - see http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=783562 for another thread on this. I think others are going the chateaux route but I'm not sure.
 
Spoke to the nice lady from Lycian events this morning. The facilities they have to offer are fantastic, everything from food to drink to showers etc all taken care of. This is the one for me. I mean what could be better than sitting on the Porsche curves watching Porsche back at le Mans with a beer in hand at 4 am as the sun comes up. Fantastic....

Also P and O Hull zebrugge £238 return for car and 2 passengers with cabin
 
Hi all, I have just booked with Lycian at the Porsche curves, will be my first time at Le Man to see racing, saw the track two years ago on a trip to the south, really looking forward to it, probably going via the chunnel on thursday if anyone else is ?

Cheers the noo ! [:D]
 
Do you have the details of Lycian quite fancy Le Mans ......doing Essen also all booked up hotel and flights
