    They drove the trucks through the Chunnel? I have driven my car on to the train, and I can't imagine that one can drive a truck through there. Maybe they put the trucks on Ferries.

    I'll say it again, I'd love to see a video of the teams constructing those hospitality suites.

    Nobody drives through except a few security, maintenance and customs vehicles in the central tunnel. The trucks go on the trains as you did, as we all do. When I was racing Formula Renault in the UK in 1989 my main sponsor was Techpro who built the initial carriages that carried cars and trucks through the Chunnel.

    That was fascinating, thanks. Puts all of Joe Gonzales' pre-race photos in perspective.
