Arrived safely and without incident at Laon - the Yellow Peril is loving her outing! Had a good run down the A1 to Brands Hatch and spent an exciting half hour there as you will have read!
If you've been following twitter you'll know we had a sticky moment with French officials when they mistook one of the people in the car for someone else based on their name and passport... and then a thorough inspection by the customs team!
Thanks to the French strike at Calais our ferry was heavily delayed, so having been just minutes behind some of the other teams, we got to the hotel a couple of hours or so later than many.
The live tracking map has been fantastic - great to see where the cars are and just as well we didn't publish speed information given the performance of a couple of the other teams!
Been to register, met a number of the teams and had a really great pizza in the beautiful old town. The restaurant had a hand painted wall with scenes of Venice - how fitting!
Overall been a great trip down, and now time to retire in readiness for the long drive tomorrow!!
