I say we get a ferry to anywhere we can in Europe ( Spain / Holland ) and drive to the track . It is a driving holiday after all ! It could be fun and we get to see some Spanish or Dutch country instead of frog roads .
Plus it would make it alot differant to other years which is starting to get a bit stale .

Yesh, I agree, mate. Flying indeed. Tosh! Enough of that filthy talk, Dorothy!

Matt, any word back from that Newhaven-Dieppe lot? I know we have the tunnel as a fallback, but it could be a clusterfuck if the whole Brexit shambles goes Pete Tong. Even though Spain and Holland are Europe as well, it's France that takes the bulk of the truck traffic, and mostly via Dover / tunnel.

In a no deal scenario, you'll need to apply for a different driving permit. If you want to drive abroad post Brexit, you will need to get the right driving permit. For more information on driving in the E.U post Brexit, go to the government website which has details about obtaining an international travelling permit and what sort of license you need for certain areas within the E.U. cost £5.50 plus check with your car insurance provider re: Green Card for coverage within the E.U... Hope this is helpful.

Palaver! Thanks, though. That is helpful. Probably worth applying anyway. It could get a bit hectic if we wait until we actually need one.
