Just to recap on the original question but phrased better....

Are TVR racing at LeMans next year?

lazyitus,

The news from Power and Passion was that TVR would be there in '05.

This is all subject to change I suspect though, so who realy knows?

I assume you can't get a decent price out of Brittnay from pompey then. Had a quick look myself but all north of £250 .
Don't mind he extended drive in Frnace that you get from Calais its just the 2.5 hours to get to Dover that is not so attractive .

I know what you mean mate, especially the thought of doing it on the way home

However, with the prices this year, it seems madness to pay another £200 notes to go from pompey

Bought 60 tickets already this year and then selfish P&O went and ruined everything, almost.

Brittany are very overpriced so we are now going via Calais. Everyone has agreed that the drive is the best part so why not extend it anyway.
Its just made the bookings that extra bit difficult.

Should be worth it though. Already looking forward to it.

I still say we should all buy small Fiats (500s or 126s) and paint them in the style of famous race cars (Silk Caut, Marlboro, Gulf etc).

We'll have to catch the train home though as I dont think they'll survive the "bumper car" games when we get there!

Already booked, as at that price they're gonna sell like hot-cakes, see you on the 07:45 on Thursday the 16th?

The SE London Cerbera Owners Group (As Lake and I are the only people in our group!) will be on there as well as a number of the Surrey group.

What's the bet their prices for that weekend will rise when they realise the jump in the number of bookings?

The Speedferries business model is to increase the fares as the crossings fill up, so all that will happen is that the midweek crossings in the 2nd week of June will be at full price by November.

Quite a few of us! Will have to arrange something big I reckon (but better not miss those ferries!)

Can't believe I've booked a ferry before I've booked any other tickets
Will the TVRCC booking form be in next months Sprint?
Just hope I have a bit more luck with it all this year
