The cars were then transported under parc-fermé conditions on the ferry to Ireland for the rest of the event. Service crews mostly went on the boat, drivers & co-drivers mostly flew, apart from David Llewellin who spent a while chatting to us as we marshalled the parc-fermé.
That brought back memories ! I went to that auto test at the Albert Dock and still have the photos including of me with Derek Bell. I didnt know they went from there to Ireland though.
