Having done this journey plenty of times, we know the best way to entertain ourselves during the long drive from Yorkshire to Pays de la Loire is to share the adventure with friends. Well, friends and a large back catalogue of NOW That's What I Call Music.

Our Great British Road Trip will head from Leeds to Le Mans and you’re all invited. Whether you’ll be cheering for us during the 24 Hours or not (although we strongly advise the former) the road trip is open to cars, vans, motorhomes, motorbikes, mopeds, you name it. If it’s got an engine and can keep up the pace, you’re in.

We’ll be leaving Ginetta HQ (just off J47 of the M1) on Wednesday 13 June at around 06:00. We’ll head down the A1 towards Brands Hatch and pick up our Southern contingent nearby, with a quick pit stop at Peterborough Service Station on route. From there we’ll continue on towards the Eurotunnel for a trip under the English Channel. Once inside France, we’ll regroup just outside the tunnel terminal and begin the journey down to la Sarthe.

You’re welcome to join the road trip at any point, either in the UK or in France. Although we’re still ironing out the final details of the trip, if you want to join in the convoy register your interest by emailing us on lemans@ginetta.com, and we’ll send you more information in due course.
