Traffic will be Ok on the Saturday, but there are road works all around Snett as they turn the A11 into a dual carriageway (at last!). Watch out - 40mph limit with speed cameras and stealth cop cars! Traffic on Sunday am will be a nightmare due to these roadworks, the BTCC crowds and even bigger crowd that descends on the Snetterton market next to the circuit entrance each Sunday. A tip for Sunday night..take a map and turn right directly out of the circuit on the country lanes ( towards Harling ) around the back of the circuit back to Thetford. The queues onto the A11 can be horrendous, espacially if it has been good weather and the traffic from the coast at Yarmouth is passing by.
Camping is usually on the infield by Riches.
Best place to watch is Russell chicane on the infield but worth a wander around to look at other spots such as infield of Riches and outside at Bomb Hole and Coram. Spectators cannot stand on the outside of Riches or anywhere near Sear corner. Like all open old airfield tracks, it can be windy and cold but hopefully not at this time of year! You won't find any grandstands at Snett but grass banks to stand on.
Take time to look at the fabulous new memorial to the 8th airforce at the entrance gates. Snett was a USAF bomber base in WWII.
For local pubs best turn right out of circuit onto A11 and after a half mile you come to The Breckland lodge Motel . Next to this is The Stag Inn and 100 yds up the road The White Lodge. Loads of racing folk should be around. These pubs are just on the edge of Attleborough, a small market town.
If you feel adventurous, you are only 18 miles from Norwich.
See you there!!
