I am taking my MotorHome and Trailer to Spa next year and need to do the crossing on the channel tunnel train because we are taking a dog with us and he can,t go in a cage on the ferry,s. The set up will be about 14 metres long.So does anyone have advise as to who to go through, discount codes, height restrictions and general info to help smooth the trip

Hi Maureen,

You are allowed dogs at Spa Summer classic on a lead in the paddock and around the track not in the pit lane though. We shall find some one who likes dogs who is not in our races which to be fair only usually has me and Bill Lancashire in it, (all the other TVR's are in the Ardenne race) to take him for a walk while we are racing for the hour or so for the three days. If not he will have to stay in the Motorhome as usual when we are away. He is most of the reason we bought a Motorhome as it is getting harder to find Good B & B who allow dogs in Cornwall.

We never get in the F1 garages and are in the lower outer paddocks again this year so it won't be a problem. It,s a huge race weekend with over 1,000 cars and a couple thousand people at least going. Have you been yet ?

Goodness, I didn't know dogs were allowed at any race circuit!
Hugh raced at Spa in the days of the old Challenge - 2002 I think it was...a great weekend.

Hi Perry & Debbie
We use the Tunnel and it cost nowt ( Tesco points ) and it's quick. We did take our dog when we raced at Lydden and it was great. So if we do Spa this year Marion would love to take the dog for a walk.
