The Snetterton Circuit is a 2.96-mile (4.76-km) FIA Grade 2 racing facility paved on a former military airfield in Snetterton, England, at a 40 minutes road trip from Norwich and 2 hours away from London. It opened for motorsports in 1951, 3 years after the RAF Snetterton Heath airfield passed to civilian control. It is a part of the MotorSport Vision group, a British racetrack operator owned by former Formula 1 racer Jonathan Palmer. The climatic conditions in Snetterton are variable, with moderate rainfall year-round and pleasant temperatures for racing in any season, especially in summer.
The Snetterton Circuit has a 12-turn trajectory packed into a semi-rectangular lot of flat land. Its layout goes through long straights, super-tight corners, and several fast-paced sweepers like Bomb Hole, Coram, or Riches. Races start/finish in the southern straightaway, passing through Riches a 100 mph (160 km/h). The heaviest braking sector comes before Montreal, a quasi-hairpin turn taking the speed down to 30 mph (18 km/h). The stretch between turns three and seven offers a tough challenge for any racer, with pronounced corners frantically coming one after the other. High-performance vehicles go to top speed after passing Williams, soaring past the Bentley Straight at 140 mph (225 km/h). The remaining circuit offers overtaking opportunities on the long sweepers near the end and the front straight right before reaching the final line.
