I'm desperate for weekend track days and snetterton is the earliest one that I can book. It's pretty far for me to drive out to so I want to know if it's worth doing or not. It looks like the 300 would be a better time.

Im down in surrey. I have a decent selection of tracks i am willing to travel to but not many weekend choices for now. If i could get any random weekday off i would be set but that will never happen.

Ya, snetterton is at about my driving limits for a track day. Just about 2 hours to get there. Thats why i posted the question, i hope its not a waste of my day. I am probably going to sign up for it and keep any eye open for others.

it was a pretty dead day to be sure. everyone got a garage and I think there were still 4 or 5 untouched ones.
It was so hot out. I was really limiting my seasons in the hotter parts of the day. my tires just couldn't take it. I would do 15 minutes then park for 30. still managed to do over 100 miles so I'm happy. I left early because I blew my front wishbone rear bushing and my braking was shaking pretty bad and my engine was misfiring around 100mph.

it's a decent track. it's fairly demanding on the brakes I think. I don't think the extra 100 section would have added much fun to it but it wouldn't have taken any away. it has some elevation changes which is nice. it's a little too far away for me to consider going there a lot but maybe a couple times a year.

a lot of people left really early on, my garage mate didn't even stay long enough to put his car on the track. I would be surprised if there were more than 30 cars running in the morning and maybe 20 in the afternoon. still a good time as I had whole sections of the track to my silly self. I could practice braking and new lines without a soul in sight.

Which car were you in?
