Snetterton Circuit - Informations

Snetterton is one of the best motor racing facilities in the UK, not only for competitors but also for spectators. Following its extensive redevelopment in 2011, Snetterton combines a challenging, technical layout with fast straights to create a unique challenge, much of which can be watched from raised viewing banks that offer some of the best viewing areas in the country.
The Snetterton 300 circuit hosts rounds of the British Touring Car Championship, the British Superbike Championship and the British GT Championship, as well as countless other club and historic categories on two and four wheels, plus festivals and car shows.
Designed by circuit boss Jonathan Palmer, the 300 circuit draws inspiration from some of the world's leading motor racing venues, while the 200 circuit retains the spirit of the original airfield layout and can be run at the same time as the short 100 loop, which is popular with sprint competitors.

The corners are named after some of the great names of motorsport, from two-wheel legend Giacomo Agostini to current F1 superstar Lewis Hamilton, while Wilson is named in honour of Palmer's former protégé Justin Wilson, who was killed in the USA in 2015.

Besides racing, Snetterton is a popular test track and has been used as a proving ground for a number of top-level racing cars.
