Provided it has stopped rainging by then, am looking forward to going to see the British GT`s in action. Anyone else going?
Its a two hour race on Sunday starting at 13-15. Other races include British F3, UK Formula Ford, Heritage Touring cars, Ginetta and VW Cup. Looks like a good day of racing. Tickets are £20 on the gate.

Try and stop me. My favorite event of the year. I intend to be there both days.
Sunday clashes with Middleton car show though, I think.

How about we all meet up in Tyrells (the bar at Snetterton) for a pint.

Excellent pictures and a great day out.

What happened to the pace of the Moseler in the second half of the race, just before they stuffed it into the tyre wall?

Was absolutely dominant in the first half, and then after pit stop and change of driver, just seemed to go off the boil and loose its edge.

Interesting to see Peter Wheeler there racing his Aston DB4, finishing a very respectable 5th. Was very entertaining watching the Heritage touring cars especially the Early Griffith.

Not sure why the Mosler was slowing but the reason it went into the tyre wall was a rear wheel came off. Was up at that part of the circuit when they recovered it.

Nigel, you should have stayed for the last Ginetta race. It was 'red flagged' with about 3 laps to go. It was absolute carnage at Russell. Only 3 corner markers were left standing, and a car got punted into the tyre wall only to spin back into the pack causing the red flag. I,m sure those Ginetta boys are mad. silly
