My first ever trackday, a few pics that I bought from the photographer on the day, plus a few of the guys I went with.

Absolutely awesome day!

And Sam, who showed us all up. Was only overtaken by about 5/6 different bikes throughout the day, and then there was Sam, who lapped me every session. Git:

Awesome day, more photos soon very probably, and maybe even some video if it ever makes it's way to me in a format I can work with!

I think you misunderstand, I in fact spent the day pissing about on my motorcycle.

Fun, clearly, but productive?

Looks like nice weather you had there. Nice photos too.

Was this the new Snetterton track or the original? I can't wait to try the new track out.

Didn't know the track was being changed, I thought it had been posponed as per:

Last event on the current circuit configuration this weekend - don't miss the BARC Winter Series!


And on the BSB and BTCC calenders they list the 2011 race as Snetterton 300 which is what the new main circuit layout is going to be called.
The original layout without the new infield bit is the 200 and they are doing a mini circuit for race schools ect called the 100.

I hope it bloody happens, the old circuit is dull, its only 20minutes down the road from me so I might take a cruise down and see if the diggers are out Smile

One of the customers at work is helping with the new track set up, as soon as the last event is over the work will begin, they have 4000 17inch tyres to bolt together to cover the extra 1.2km (although that might be miles, not too sure) to comply with the FIA regs. If anyone wants to know anything I can ask whats happening and see what I can find out Smile

The back straight will actually get a tiny bit shorter.

This is the layout on the MSV website-
https://snetterton.motorsportvision.co.uk/circuits/snetterton/snetterton-extension.aspx

Corner 2 looks nasty Smile , the lake is a nice touch, might make it seem like you're at some sunny Spanish circuit even if you are really in Norfolk and its -1c.
