Russell is too hard to be an overtaking spot now. Even on your own, you are so busy keeping the car balanced as you go from part throttle, through no throttle to hard braking, and then changing direction to do anything else. Much easier to use Coram/Russell to set up a move in Riches.
As such, in the dry, I don't think you'll see much action at Russell. You might see the odd slide/spin as people lose the back end going from throttle to brake, but I doubt you'll even see much lapping of slower drivers, let alone passing for position in that corner.
Go to the infield. There are more passing places and tactics places in the new bit than in the whole of the old Snetterton.
Even on the 200 circuit, you'll be better of watching at Riches/Sear or the Brundle Esses rather than at Russell.
But from a driver's point of view, the new last corners are very challenging. No longer high-speed ballsy corners, but very tricky to master, and very easy to lose time in.
