Web: www.snetterton.co.uk

Snetterton is the third of MotorSport Vision’s circuits and is an old airfield, 18 miles south-west of Norwich. Opened in the autumn of 1951, the track was the brainchild of Oliver Sear and its 2.71 miles have remained substantially unchanged since the first races. The current lap record officially stands at 56.095 (125.27 mph) set by Klaas Zwart, during a BRSCC meeting in August 2007. He was even faster in qualifying, setting an unofficial lap record of 54.687 (128.50 mph). The track has a good combination of turns with the fast double-apex at Riches, and then onto the tigher Sear, which leads onto the main straight.
