The brand new technical track of Snetterton 100 is a fantastically challenging mini circuit. At just under a mile long it has everything to offer, with the high speed straight, the technical corner of Oggies and the sweeping bend of Hamilton.

Our new under 25’s track days offer younger drivers an excellent opportunity to not only get out on track but learn skills that will last a lifetime.

For the unbelievably low price of £75 you will not only have a day out on track but also included is free entry into the trackday class room sessions throughout the day as well!
At the start of the day the instructors will be on hand to help you carry out the pre-track checks that every driver should perform before going out on circuit making sure your car is always safe, roadworthy and ready to go!

The class room sessions will cover areas such as braking point, with techniques like heel and toe and cadence braking, turn in point and how to hit the apex while controlling weight transfer, as well as exiting the corner smoothly and effectively. Once you have found your braking point, the instructors will teach you how to brake that bit later so that you can carry more speed through the corner.

For any under 25’s that want to see what trackdays are all about without committing to the full day, 20minute Taster Sessions are also available at just £15!



You will receive:

•A full safety briefing including track driving techniques.

•Three limited speed laps led by a safety car so that you can familiarise yourself with the circuit and learn the racing line.

•The remainder of the session at your own speed.
All participants must be between 17 and 25 years of age with a full valid UK drivers licence.

I wanted to do a TD for my Birthday and would have done Brands Hatch but it is a long drive just for an evening but I saw the Snetterton TD advertised and decided to go with it.

The day started early, wet and cold with a 7:00 meeting on the A 10 with Russ, I really fancied the warmth and comfort of his Audi but he did seem very reluctant to give it up and as a rejection often offends decided not to suggest a swap.

Arriving at Snetterton we were greeted by a cold and wet circuit with a very light attendance signing on and safety briefing (quite humorous) out of the way we set out on our sighting laps Russ at the helm as we reacquainted ourselves with this great layout, took my 3 laps and decided it was time for a cup of coffee, first of many throughout the day.

During the morning we gradually worked up our or is down our lap times (not timed) pushing further into the grip available, really quite remarkable how much grip was available but we were always aware that at times we were right on the edge of grip.

And so it was time to break for a Snetterton salad of steak & Ale pie, chips and beans, the break being very welcome after a morning of quite demanding driving.

Whilst the rain didn't completely go away the afternoon was a little brighter but the track didn't completely dry out but we built our confidence up during the morning so we were both able to exploit low track numbers and the balance and grip of the Scoobie.

We both agreed that a big benefit of driving a little slower than normal we were able to develop better lines through the corners for Russ the big success was going through Bomb Hole without braking or even comfort lifting and for me getting Hamilton sorted out without saying "Bollocks could have gone through much faster" the lines were sorted. Coram remains an enigma but we both felt a little more confident with braking point and line towards the end of the day

All that remains is to thank MSV for a well managed day the Marshals were as ever top notch and any offs or mishaps dealt with a minimum of fuss or lost track time ]]> Event discussions Harry http://www.bigpower.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=20548 http://www.bigpower.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=20547&goto=newpost Tue, 15 May 2012 16:37:10 GMT So what's the need to know things when using race fuel.


What sort of power increase can you see?

Is it harmful to any components in the engine or fuel system?

Do you have to drain all the normal fuel out before putting in?


What else do I need to know. ]]> Technical queries pablo http://www.bigpower.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=20547 http://www.bigpower.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=20546&goto=newpost Mon, 14 May 2012 14:08:01 GMT I might buy this with next months pay packet........."How Much"
