Hotel and Ferry Information

ACCOMMODATION

We understand that after a day's driving, you need the guarantee of a relaxing and welcoming hotel in which to spend the night. The route of the 2013 MSA Euroclassic has been designed with this in mind.

WRA Travel are the officially appointed accommodation agency for the MSA Euroclassic. WRA first worked with the event in 1993 and are well placed to understand the standard and service expected by participants.

A package for the event has been put together by WRA. This accommodation is targeted to be of a 4*/5* standard, although where more than one hotel is available there may be alternative grades offered. Each hotel has been inspected by the Organising Team to ensure its suitability, and we encourage all participants to make use of the WRA service. Without an agency securing accommodation in the overnight locations, and therefore guaranteeing availability for our participants, the event would be unable to run.

To ensure a first class service at all times, representatives from WRA will be at each hotel on the event during check-in and check-out to deal with any issues that may arise.

For a 7 night bed and breakfast package, based on two people sharing a twin or double room, the cost will be approximately £1375.
Supplements will apply for single occupancy rooms.

A booking form will be sent to participants following acceptance of their entry.

Participants who wish to make their own accommodation arrangements are free to do so, but should please note that the event is unable to help with accommodation queries if not booked through WRA Travel.

FERRY CROSSINGS

Ferry crossings are not included in the entry fee, allowing all participants the flexibility to make the most suitable arrangements for themselves.

Participants from mainland Europe may join the event on Saturday night in Lille for the Welcome Reception.

OUTWARD TRAVEL

IMS suggests taking one of the following Dover to Calais crossings with P&O Ferries on Saturday 7th September to arrive at the hotel in Lille in plenty of time for the Welcome Reception:
12.55hrs
13.55hrs
14.45hrs

The crossing time is approximately 90 minutes and France is an hour ahead of the UK. Vehicle check-in closes 30 minutes before departure. You can book your crossing direct with P&O Ferries at www.poferries.com or by calling them on 08716 642121.

Lille is 70 miles from Calais, so this journey should take approximately 90 minutes.

INWARD TRAVEL

IMS will issue a suggested route back to the port of Calais from the finish in Luxembourg on Saturday 14 September. There will be the assurance of breakdown assistance along this route when using the suggested time schedule. This return route covers 260 miles over 4 hours. Allowing for a 30 minute break along the route, you should arrive at the port of Calais at around 13.30hrs.
