Did it last year in my T350 - got loads of attention (all the right sort) and was great fun getting there and back . If you do go and its hot (was 33 degC last year), make sure you check the water each time you take her out - you will be stopped in traffic for long periods around the track so make sure she has planty of fluid to keep her cool

You must do it! Been last 4 years and Tiv's get a lot of attention over there.

Fezza's, Porkers etc are two a penny

The drive down and back is a great hoot! You won't regret it!

Went last year in the T350, and had a great time. Have sold the car to m1nky but he's carrying on the trend by taking it again this year

Done iot the last 2 years and will be going again this year if I haven't sold the car by then.

I agree with everyone else it's a total blast and great fun on the way down and back.

Many other "exotica" became very common but the TVR's still draw the crowds.

Cost about £300 per person, incl ferry, fuel, RAC cover, camping, general pass, food. Plus beer though

GO GO GO GO GO. Its great. If you want to sleep though, I wouldn't stay at the track! I go with a friend and we stay at a great campsite in Spay. Details with Just Tickets. Its set around a lake, there's is a very smart shower block, couldn't be better. £45 for camping all weekend. Travel Friday morning, 7.30, Dover Calais ferry.
