I much prefer the Ferry too, more theatre and as Amar says an opportunity to relax.
The train is amazing engineering, but all in all a bit sterile

This is just like our first runs round the ring last year. I think we all had similar tail out fun and long drifts.........not to mention the aquaplaning. Though we may have been little bit slower

Ben, if you read this, do you still have that video of the chap in the Subaru from last year. I'd be interested to see that posted on YouTube.
