Lift to Le Mans

[New Yorker]

Hi all -

Long shot but wondering if anyone has a couple
of spare seats to take my son (17 yo) and his friend from
Caen ferry to Le mans. They are on the friday portsmouth - caen crossing as foot passengers. They have train tickets but this should get them there quicker!

Not sure it would actually. 1hr 45min to 2hr for the train, which is about the same as driving - and more traffic variable.

We did it by train a few years ago, taxi from ferry port to train station the train to centre of Le Mans, tram to expo, piece of cake and that was during one of their train strikes.

Great advice. Will stick to plan A!

You can spend a lot of that just queueing into the circuit!

Not sure Google's estimates account for things like "This year the ACO have decided to route traffic so if more than 3 vehicles turn up at the same time and try to access campsite X they completely block one of the main access roads for 10 minutes while the 'plot guide' cycles reeeeeaaaallllyyyy slowly back and forth, getting lost 3 times (in a single 'spreadsheet style' grid) to get all campers out the way.", so that's just the drive time with normal traffic.
