Ten CR ..Ferry arrangements


Recommended Posts

Now the Ten CR is announced and entries are coming in, I can advise that we are now investigating any deals that can be offered for the full field of entrants.
We began a few months ago and operators were advising that the pricing structure would be available , first by September `14 ,then by November `14.Now it could be anywhere between November and January
One of the main causes of delay has been the ever falling cost of crude oil which affects fuel costs.
We will be posting the results of our findings shortly, after inquiring of four ferry operators .
As the start of the event will be mid morning on the first day it may be that the majority of entrants would be nearly all on one ferry.
We will advise very soon

Rolduc is were the finish is. I believe the start to be circa 2 to 2,5 hours further north
(not taking into account morning rush hour traffic) ...



Is that right Theo. Kerkrade and Aachen look very close on Google maps.

We will be going over from Dover on a mid day or early afternoon ferry on the Wednesday.

It indeed is, less than 15 minutes in rush hour traffic.
But as I said, Kerkrade/Rolduc is were the finish is, not the start ...

Unless they have changed the location of the start without telling me of course  :P

Ferry providers have been back today to advise that prices will be available to us very shortly, to cover a max 65 cars and crews
Optional sea companies and Tunnel costs will be submitted to us
Once the event organiser has perused the offers ,we will announce to the entry field

Anyone finding they can personally better the offers, buy using vouchers from large rip off high street retailers then that is down to the individual

Just to keep you updated ,instead of hopping on one leg wondering whats happening like you all do.

Conversations today have lead me to believe we will have a system offered and prices this week, which will be discussed with Mr Helm
Then the details will be in the January magazine for all to read, after a posting on here

Options that have been looked at relate to ; various companies being approached and type of crossing eg sea or tunnel

No little snippets about using shopping vouchers because you can get it cheaper.....
Everyone will have the same opportunity of utilizing what we have achieved ...................or finding your own deal

More this week

There will be an article in the January issue of Club Torque giving an update as to where we are, if we receive the right deal from  operators ,we will include those prices/routes
As at today ,negotiations for the 10 CR event  are still on going due to additional fuel levies being applied.
The press release by one operator spells out the consequences of a European edict telling all operators to change to new , more expensive fuels or carry out ferry engine modifications, which still incurs more cost.
We will keep you up to date, but prices have certainly increased.
Intimations have been made by a selected operator, that the tunnel crossing may well be as competitive this time
More to follow

So is it worth trying to book Ferries individually now before prices rocket?


They already have done....can`t beat it
P and O are already using the more expensive fuels whilst they take out ships to modify
They are also not issuing the September rates tickets yet (for us any way)

From what I have obtained P and O would be out of the equation

PS the days of the £59.00 open ticket that we used to enjoy.........has gone
