pretty good quality vid there, but would have been more exiting if you had a few laps with warm tyres on there

i did snetterton for the first time back in august and tbh i didnt really enjoy it and was fed up by lunch and parked the bike up for the day . there were lots of 1000cc bikes in novice group that were gash in the bends but obviously killed a 600 on the back straight so it was very frustrating to say the least lol. also im not a fan of straights anyway so this track didn't tick that box either. Im definately more of a cadwell and anglesey kinda guy as i like loads of bends with no long stretches of nothingness( never been bothered about 120ish+ speeds)

another thing that ruined it a bit was the huge cracks that run round the corners, had a few real brown trouser moments in those

was sorta glad i went though, just for the experience n all but definately wont be going back.

That one was actually not my camera, it was one of the Focus Events hire cameras for the day.

They are pretty good though, hopefully mine come out just as good.

Nice vid , how much do focussed events charge for the camera hire?

I've done a couple of days at Snetterton now and whilst I enjoyed them I agree with Salty that it can be really frustrating on a slower bike. I found that I was sitting behind people round the tighter section then getting left for dead along the straights only to bottle neck back up again at the end of the straight.

I'm planning on getting a trailer next year so I can travel a little further afield, Snetterton is only 20mins down the road but most other tracks are 2-3 hours.

Those big cracks in the track do make it look very offputting to a trackday virgin like me!

Maybe i just need balls.

i dont think they effect you too much if your of a higher level of track riding as they dont seem to be in the way of the usual line, you just kinda cross over it whch is ok i found. I myself occasionaly make my own line up and a few of these occasions saw me running more or less perfectly round the crack , it does throw u about a bit

The cracks did not put me off that track at all, try brands Hatch, Clark curve has a masive crack all the way round it, always fun.

The camera hire was £40 for 2 sessions, which I did. Well worth it.
