Some people pick it up very quickly, others take longer, either way there is no shame.

Try www.ferrysavers.com they normally have good prices.
I go via dover and pay about £50 - £70 generally
You could also try norfolkline.
Dont go direct to P&O or sea france they will rob you blind.

Its not about times anyway its about enjoying it, finding new flat out corners, passing £100,000 cars in your £2K shed and chatting to the owners in the car park after.

The drive out there is pretty mind numbingly boring. Well untill the last 40KM anyway.
My advise would be buy some beer, buy some food, find the route to Adenau Forst. Have a wander up the hooooooooooge hill and sit and watch the carnage.
Then go and do a lap of your own and find yourself coming off at the same place you've just been watching from

From Calais, or Bologne or Dunkirk ........ E42 to Gent - Brussels - round the brussels ring road back onto the E42 again toward Liege (Luik)
Come off the E42 at the Ververies turning. Continue to Prum, then back road to the ring. 265 miles approx.

60 plus laps, and I still got it wrong. It can and does bite. I was lucky.

On the same lap I passed a smashed up 306 and a GT3 in the same bump.
Gary I have the full lap if you want to put it up on NL
