CIRCUIT INFORMATION
Extensive redevelopment in 2011, the circuit blends a challenging and complex layout with fast straights to create a unique challenge – much of which can be viewed from raised spectator offering some of the best viewing areas in the country.
The Snetterton 300 circuit hosts rounds of the Kwik Fit British Touring Car, Bennetts British Superbike and British GT Championships, plus countless other club-level and historic categories on both two and four wheels, as well as festivals and car shows.
The circuit’s corner names are drawn from some of motorsport’s greats, from two-wheeled legend Giacomo Agostini to current F1 superstar Lewis Hamilton, whilst Wilson is named in honour of Palmer’s former protégé Justin Wilson who was killed in the USA in 2015.
Snetterton was built as an RAF airfield, designated for use by the 96th United States Air Force Bomber Group between May 1943 and November 1948. The circuit itself was created in 1951 from the network of remaining runways and its first race event was held in the same year by the Aston Martin Owner’s Club.
The circuit configuration has changed several times during Snetterton’s 60-year history. In the 1960s and early 70s it was 2.7 miles in length and a large section ran almost adjacent to the A11 road, before a sharp hairpin turn and a long run back to what are now the Brundle and Nelson corners.
