Why Travel to Motorsport Events by Ferry?
🚗 Take Your Own Vehicle
For motorsport fans, taking your own vehicle can be part of the experience.
Travel with your car or motorcycle and continue your journey as soon as you leave the ferry port.
It also gives you more freedom when choosing where to stay.
🏕️ Bring Your Camping Equipment
Many race weekends involve camping close to the circuit.
Travelling with your vehicle gives you more room for tents, sleeping bags, chairs and other camping equipment.
Always check the rules for your ferry operator and campsite before travelling.
👥 Travel With Friends
Race weekends are often group trips.
Share the driving, split the journey and enjoy travelling together. The road trip can become almost as memorable as the racing itself.
🗺️ Turn the Race Into a Road Trip
You do not have to drive straight to the circuit and back again.
Add another city, visit a famous driving road or spend a few extra days exploring the surrounding area.
Taking your own vehicle gives you the freedom to build a bigger trip around the event.
Planning Your Ferry Journey
The best ferry crossing will depend on where the race takes place and where your journey begins. Consider your departure port, crossing time and the driving distance between your arrival port and the circuit.
It is also worth checking when circuit campsites and parking areas open. Arriving earlier can give you more time to settle in before the racing begins. Remember that major motorsport events can create heavy traffic around circuits. Allow extra time for the final part of your journey.
Travelling with a Car, Campervan or Motorhome
One of the biggest advantages of ferry travel is the range of vehicles you can take. Cars work well for groups carrying luggage and camping equipment. Motorcycles can make the journey itself part of the motorsport experience.
Meanwhile, campervans and motorhomes can be ideal for longer race weekends where suitable camping is available. Make sure you enter the correct vehicle type and dimensions when booking your crossing. This is particularly important for larger campervans, motorhomes, trailers and vehicles with roof boxes.
If you have not travelled with a vehicle before, our Travelling by Ferry with a Vehicle guide explains the boarding process and what to expect at the port.
Make the Journey Part of the Race Weekend
Motorsport trips do not have to begin when you reach the circuit. Take the ferry, bring your own vehicle and turn the journey into part of your adventure.
