Bilbo Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Hi All Well I have just arrived home to find the entry form for Snetterton on the 19th August. I have never been there what's it like in a 7n from site here looks like very fast. Into Esses and on to the Bomb Hole seems interesting Anyone have any comments I am posting the form in the morning.

westy Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 As it happens I have raced there many times, not my favorite track but well worth a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Carmichael Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Bilbo, your assessment is right. It is very fast into Esses. With the big engine running a 7900 rev limit on its first ever time on track it was pulling 138mph on the straight on the limiter in sixth. Coram is fun. You can have some good fun there but it if the weather comes in it can be bleak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted May 13, 2003 Author Share Posted May 13, 2003 Cheers Peter and Westy Well I will have to wait to see if I get a place Lets face it anything new is Fun Why is it not your your favorite track Westy 🤔 Seems very fast 138mph well best put slow moving vehical on the back of my car it has seen over 130mph on the clock not that that means a lot.

darren f Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 I apologise in advance for anyone with a vast knowledge of Snett, but I’ve driven it a few times and I reckon it’s the kind of track that you have to drive, but would only choose to do it once or twice. Generally its flat and featureless- there is no gradient any where on the circuit apart from the ‘Bombhole’. Which explains how bleak it is when its cold and windy! Circuit wise, the back straight is good for ‘maxing’ your car, there is heavy braking at the Esses and Russell Chicane. The only ‘real challenges’ are Coram (long right-hander to test your bravery) and Riches a double apex after the start-finish straight. I think the chicane is a real pain in the a***- it disrupts what little flow there is to the lap. It is however the only decent spectating position. After you’ve driven it a couple of times it presents nothing new to you, not like Oulton Park or Cadwell which continue to be a challenge (to me at least 😬) every time you go back. darren f The Building of R300SEV is Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 Cheers All Thanks Darren that's very helpful It was the gradient bit that I was really interested in and should have said so at the start of the thread Hi Allan long time no chat So are you all hoping to go 🤔 'Can you hear me running' .........
