Snetterton - any good?

[TAFKARM]

On the list, never been, but is it worth the 3 hr drive? Looks like it might be a bit cack in a westie..?

[AdamR]

Long straights yes, but some of the corners (on the 300) are superb. Worth doing IMO!

[Andrew]

Only been once as it's a long haul for me.. but yes, it left me wanting to return. Has to be the full 300 circuit though. 

[Rory's Dad]

Not a patch on Cadwell!

[darve]

I love it, as do a lot of the Essex crew

Plenty of armco for you too 

[6carjon]

It's not bad. Depends how fast your car is with the long straights otherwise you might get overtaken a bit. Cadwell is better depending how far you are prepared to travel. On the bright side there is very little to hit if you overdo it 

For 3 hours drive I'd want more, but to tick it off your list it's worth a look.

Only been the once, but loved the 300 layout.

Some really good corners.

Two very long straights that have forced me to look at an alternative powerplant

[TAFKARM]

Longer than the straight on Bedford GT?

[Rory's Dad]

The straights are boring IMO - waste of time and space (he said cruelly)!

[TAFKARM]

It sounds like it’s not worth the 3hr trek apart from to tick it off the list. 

Donington is 45 mins. Blyton is an hour, Caldwell is 1.5 and Oulton is 2...

[Rory's Dad]

No contest...

[XTR2Turbo]

Donnington over snetterton every time 

[SootySport]

You should try it.  Not as edgy as Cadwell but definitely a fast circuit. Come along at least once with the Essex Boyz for the craic.

[TAFKARM]

Yeah that sounds good Bernie - let me know when you guys go

I wouldn't drive past three of those four circuits to get to Snetterton, but, as I said, it's worth trying at least once. I think I'll be looking for a return visit next year.
