Well I drove there, and drove back and lived to tell the tale, all went very and was a great experience, will post a decent reply to this thread once I've caught up on sleep and processed the images taken

Finally some pics...

The starting point, dover ferry terminal at silly o clock on the Friday morning.


The boring but accurate route


Packed into the ferry


Nice campsite and plenty of space for our two tents and the Mazda


Someones rather expensive drive on the way to the circuit


View from our seats


Thorno


Didn't realise the extent of the gradients around this track until you walk it, stunning views and big hills!


Lots and lots of shots like this,  i'll not be uploading all of them you'll be pleased to know 


Lewis, yes he was there and boy did the crowd cheer when Button and Lewis got taken out on the first lap


There was some traffic on the return journey, but with the roof down, tunes on, the sun shining and a great weekend had, we really didn't care!

[Ritey]

And yes that is a chick giving us the peace sign, for some reason we were attracting lots of attention with Thorno standing up in a 2 seater convertible, with the steering wheel on the right side of the car, taking photos of everyone and every thing

Seeing those pics takes me back!

Why didn't you take the Eurotunnel? It's so fast and easy. I know a great little hotel in Dover run by a biker if you ever need one.

Here's one of mine - I best start a new thread : -
