Can't comment on that particular ferry but done P&O & Britanny several times on both the normal and fast ferries and never had a problem

I'm sure you'll be fine.

Enjoy the looks you'll get on the otherside!

Many of us use Speed Ferries every year to go to Lemans, they take a great deal of care loading and unloading putting rope down etc to ensure safe passage.

Same experience here. Used Speed Ferries for Le Man in June and they were excellent. No problems getting my Tuscan MkII S on and off.

Have a good trip

Yep took my Tuscan with Speed ferrys the summer before last, no problems at all
I even asked if they could park me on the Flat as handbrakes on TVR's aint that hot!

Don't worry, and go for it. OH yes

You'll have just two problems with your trip to Le Mans:
1. The S6 at 5 / 6 / 7k rpm the whole trip will make you realise you don't need the ICE (other than Carbon Cans!).
2. Your new tyres won't last long.

Enjoy thumbup
