[BTCC] Round Seven, Snetterton 13-14 Aug, Races 19,20&21

[crmalcolm]

Next up, we travel to Snetterton.

Snetterton underwent extensive redesign ahead of the 2011 season, and the ‘300’ layout came into use by the BTCC from that point onwards. The first time that constructor NGTC cars raced there, Tom Onslow-Cole took the sole RWD podium of the day, with a Civic, Vectra and MG taking the wins that day.

Snetterton’s ‘Scary Tree’ suffered damage at the start of 2020 and is now just ‘Tree’.


Last time the BTCC visited, it was early in the 2021 season as a June meeting. This time the series visits in what looks like a much hotter August date. 2021 saw the majority of podium slots filled by Sutton, Turkington and Ingram – with Shedden and Butcher both making one visit to the third step.

Snetterton is a circuit that the drivers know extremely well, having recently visited for the two-day Goodyear tyre test during the summer break.
A total of 30 drivers headed out over 14 hours of testing in July, accruing almost 2,500 laps of the 2.97-mile circuit and notching more than 7,200 miles.
