AUTOSPORT tries the new Snetterton track
Snetterton has received a multi-million pound makeover and an exciting new circuit layout. AUTOSPORT's Ben Anderson has given the new track a try out and has given it the thumbs up. Watch one of his laps here
When racers and fans of motor racing visit Snetterton this season, the place will look a little different. Circuit boss Jonathan Palmer has spent several million pounds renovating the circuit over the winter and extending it from 1.952 miles to just shy of three.
That makes it the third longest circuit in the UK, behind only the Silverstone GP and Bridge layouts. Palmer hopes this makeover, which also includes new spectator areas and a revamped paddock, will attract bigger international series like DTM and World Touring Cars to Norfolk.
